But when its your brother sometimes you look the other way[00:01:10]
Yeah me and frankie laughin and drinkin[00:01:18]
Nothin feels better than blood on blood[00:01:22]
Takin turns dancin with maria as the band[00:01:27]

Nothin feels better than blood on blood[00:02:36]

There was trouble in a roadhouse out on the michigan line[00:03:28]
There was a kid lyin on the floor lookin bad bleedin hard from his head[00:03:37]

Well I chased him through them county roads[00:04:32]
Till a sign said canadian border five miles from here[00:04:37]
I pulled over the side of the highway and watched his tail-lights disappear[00:04:42]
Me and frankie laughin and drinkin[00:04:51]
Nothin feels better than blood on blood[00:04:55]
