Same Blood, Different Roads

[Verse 1]
You say blue
I say red
Raise our voices
Then eat the same bread
Same house
Same last name
Pass the salt
We joke through the flame
[Chorus]
Blood thicker than the water on the table
Same mom, same dad, we were raised at the same old cable
Different views of the world, different flags in our hands
But your heart is my heart, we’re the same in the end
We fight, we fade, we bend and we break
But family’s the promise that we never unmake
[Verse 2]
You love open skies
I love crowded streets
You pray on your knees
I just talk when I can’t sleep
Same stories
Told in different words
But when the phone rings late
You’re the first one I heard
[Chorus]
Blood thicker than the water on the table
Same mom, same dad, we were raised at the same old cable
Same culture in our bones, different maps in our heads
Different country dreams, but we came from the same twin beds
We fight, we fade, we bend and we break
But family’s the promise that we never unmake
[Bridge]
Maybe we’ll never agree
On how this world should be
But I’ll save you a seat
At my side, at my side (hey)
[Chorus]
Blood thicker than the water on the table
Same mom, same dad, we were raised at the same old cable
Different views of the world, different flags in our hands
But your heart is my heart, we’re the same in the end
We fight, we fade, we bend and we break
But family’s the promise that we never unmake

country, Warm acoustic pop with light country flavor; male vocals over fingerpicked guitar and soft brushed drums. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, subtle organ pad underlining tension; chorus blooms with lifted harmonies and a simple bass line. Final chorus adds a gentle tambourine and stacked vocals on the hook for a communal, arms-around-shoulders feel., world
