Brothers On The Line lyrics:

By God’s good grace and a lucky break we made it out alive
My brother was relieved I could see it in his eyes

The bell went off at midnight and out the door we raced
The dust and smoke that filled our lungs is a hazard we all face
The flames raged as the roof caved but we carried two girls out
The job is done and one by one we head back to the house

Where my daddy steered the engine and my grandpa he did too
This is what we all were born to do
They’ve got my back, I’ve got theirs every single time
They’re my brothers on the line, brothers on the line

When I was only five years old I raced downstairs to see
A hook and ladder fire truck under the Christmas tree
And the siren’s call said it all and it was meant to be

And my daddy steered the engine and my grandpa he did too
Those were the greatest days I knew
We drove that engine ladder up and put out every fire
We were brothers on the line, brothers on the line

Now I hold the helmet in my hand the bell rings one more time
When duty calls some may fall I look up to the sky

Where my daddy steers the engine and my grandpa he does too
These are the greatest men I ever knew
They’re my brothers on the line, brothers on the line
We’re brothers on the line, brothers on the line
