Thick As Thieves

Lyrics

⸻ Verse 1 We were Bedrock boys carved out of Flint steel, Hard times, cold nights — but we learned how to feel. Two shadows runnin’ wild past the old rail line, Fishing poles clacking in the Michigan pines. You were lightning on the track, all gas, no fear, Crowds roared your name like for the whole town to hear. I was your echo, your lookout, your friend — Two brothers unbreakable back then. ⸻ Pre-Chorus And life pulled hard, but it never pulled us under — Roots like ours grow deep as Michigan thunder. ⸻ Cinematic Chorus (Bigger, Broader, Michigan Imagery) Yeah we were thick as thieves, Flint-raised, Michigan strong, Forged in the fire where the tough belong. Life split our roads, but it couldn’t split our name — Two different stories carved from the same flame. Through distance, storms, and years that drag on — The map may change, But nothing breaks a brother’s bond. (Huge drums hit / choir behind the last line) ⸻ Verse 2 You slipped when the cheers went quiet and cold, When the glory ran thin and the nights got old. But Flint kids rise — that’s what we do, You found new ground, built your life brand new. And I followed the flag far past state lines, Desert heat, ocean winds, different battles, different times. But even out there, under foreign skies… Your voice was the echo that kept me alive. ⸻ Pre-Chorus We grew up rough, but we grew up right — Built from the Midwest, built to fight. ⸻ Cinematic Chorus (Reprise) Yeah we were thick as thieves, Flint-raised, Michigan strong, Forged in the fire where the tough belong. Life split our roads, but it couldn’t split our name — Two different stories carved from the same flame. Through distance, storms, and years that drag on — The world may change, But nothing breaks a brother’s bond. ⸻ Bridge (Epic, Sweeping, Emotional) From the shores of Superior to that Flint-town grit, We’ve walked through hell and never quit. If your world ever cracks, or the sky caves in — I’ll ride through the night just like back then. Brother, you call — I’ll answer strong, ’Cause blood like ours runs mountain-long. ⸻ Final Chorus (Full Cinematic Lift) Yeah we were thick as thieves, carved from Michigan stone, Flint-made hearts even after we’ve grown. You walk your path, and I walk mine too — But there’s no distance far enough to pull me from you. Through every storm, every mile we’ve gone… We’re Michigan brothers — And nothing breaks this bond. (Final string swell, choir rise, drum boom)
