She was born in Kansas City Raised in Arkansas Fell in love with an ex-Marine She already had three babies He had one of his own They came together For another and me Our family never shared The same last name But our family Was a family, the same (And they say) Blood is thicker than water Oh, but love is Thicker than blood Wreck out on the highway Rain falling down Lord, he must have Fell asleep at the wheel There's a number of people Just standing around Lord, I can't condemn The fear that they feel For that river of red Could be the death of me God, give me strength And keep reminding me That blood is thicker than water Oh, but love is Thicker than blood And if blood is Thicker than water Then what are we fighting for? We're all sons and daughters Of something that Means so much more I see it on my TV But I can't understand Lord, it's one Big contradiction to me How in god's name We love thy neighbor with fists In our hands And kill each other When we just don't agree Why can't we see the walls We can't see through? And see what God's Been telling me and you (And that is) Blood is thicker than water Oh, but love Love is thicker than blood
