Friends Covering Our Back

歌词

thirty-five years and the scars still show From the streets where we learned to grow No silver spoon, no golden hand Just a promise made in the promised land We bled, we fought, we stood our ground When the world tried to beat us down Through the whiskey haze and the morning light We kept the fire burning bright

With friends covering our back We stand and we never crack Through the storm and through the fight Brothers side by side through the night

Jobs were lost and the rent came due But we had something they couldn't take from you A handshake firm, a look in the eye That says "I'm here until we die" The factories closed, the ships sailed on But our brotherhood remained strong In the pub, on the street, in the pouring rain We carried each other's pain

With friends covering our back No fear of the coming black Whatever comes, whatever may Together we face the break of day

Who's got your back when the walls cave in? WE DO! Who stands with you through thick and thin? WE DO! Who's your family when blood runs thin? WE DO! Who's gonna fight until the end? WE DO!

With friends covering our back We stand and we never crack Through the storm and through the fight Brothers side by side through the night With friends covering our back No fear of the coming black Whatever comes, whatever may Together we face the break of day

And when the final bell tolls And the reaper comes to call We won't stand alone No, we won't stand alone Side by side, back to back Facing down the final attack Together we fall Together we stand tall

With friends covering our back We stand and we never crack Through the storm and through the fight Brothers side by side through the night Side by side! Through the night! Side by side! Through the night!
