Keith Whitley Brotherly Love
with Earl Thomas Conley.
E E7 A
We shared the same last name and the same color eyes
E B7
But we fought like tigers over that old red bike
E E7
I'm battin' first and you can't use my glove
A
It wouldn't take long 'til push came to shove
E B7 E
But, we looked out for each other with Brotherly Love
You hated girls 'til I had my first date
I brought her home from the movies; you stayed up late
Three on the couch watchin' T.V.
I was smilin' at her while you were laughin' at me
But, I wouldn't trade it for nothin', Brotherly Love (E7 leading into chorus)
CHORUS
A B7
There's a bond that brothers know
E
And it gets stronger as they grow
A B7 E E7
A love that time and miles can't come between
A B7
We disagreed but in the end
E
There will never be two closer friends
A B7
And Brotherly Love is something we all need.
They share the same last name and the same color eyes
But they fight like tigers over one ol' red bike
And lookin' at them reminds me of us
They're gonna fight and they're gonna fuss
But, they got something special, it's Brotherly Love
