Brotherly Love

Brotherly Love - Keith Whitley

We shared the same last name and the same color eyes

But we fought like tigers over that old red bike

I'm battin' first and you can't use my glove

It wouldn't take long until push came to shove

But we looked out for each other with brotherly love

You hated girls till I had my first date

I brought her home from the movies you stayed up late

Three on the couch watchin' TV

I was smilin' at her while you were laughin' at me

But I wouldn't trade it for nothin' brotherly love

There's a bond that brothers know and it gets stronger as they grow

A love that time and miles can't come between

We disagree but in the end there will never be two closer friends

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 old red bike

And lookin' at them reminds me of us

They're gonna fight and they're gonna fuss

But they've got something special it's brotherly love

Yeah they've got something special it's brotherly love
