Lyrics
We shook hands like brothers, Same dirt on our boots Same nights, same hunger, Same kind of truth
Built it up from nothing, Brick by broken brick You said, “If one goes under — We both go with it”
But I saw it in your shadow, Long before the light The way you stopped sayin’ my name… Started sayin’ “mine”
We shook hands like brothers — That’s what cuts the deep You don’t fear your enemies… It’s the ones you keep
No sound when it happens, No warning sign Just a knife in the quiet… From a hand like mine
You poured me that whiskey, Looked me in the eye Said, “Ain’t no man alive Could break what we tied”
But your voice had a tremble, Like a loaded gun And I knew in that moment… You’d already done it
You don’t miss the trigger, When you’ve made your peace You just wait for the silence… Then you let it speak
We shook hands like brothers — That’s what kills a man Not the bullet in the chamber… But who’s holdin’ your hand
No rage, no thunder, No last goodbye Just a slow kind of dyin’… Lookin’ him in the eye
There ain’t no code in blood, If the blood runs thin And there ain’t no loyalty… If it bends for the win
You didn’t pull the trigger — Nah… that ain’t your style You just set the table… And watched me walk the mile
We shook hands like brothers — That’s what made it real Every word we ever spoke… Now a rusted deal
No war, no glory, No songs to sing Just a man standin’ over me… Who once called me king
We shook hands… Yeah…
Like brothers…
