Ties That Bind Lyrics

You say those loving words yet keep me on a leash
I keep us warm and safe at night
I do the dirty work that keeps me on my knees
Somehow, I know that's just not right

When we get our minds together
There's nothing we can't do
You are a friend of mine
When we put hearts together
You know that we'll get through
We have the ties that bind

I chase the threat away that keeps you on your toes
You trust me still I am a slave
Sniffing out danger mmm wherever it goes
What little reward at the end of the day?

When we get our minds together
There's nothing we can't do
You are a friend of mine
When we put hearts together
You know that we'll get through
We have the ties that bind

When times are hot and heavy we make it through
Cause I know you have my back
We are as one together both tried and true
Bound by blood and that's our pact

"Don't bite the hand that feeds you" I can feed myself
Don't you dare get in my face!
You shout those orders at me force me to stay in line
Someday I'll put you in your place

When we put our minds together
There's nothing we can't do
What kind of friend have I?
If we bind our hearts together
You know that we'll make it through
We have the ties that bind
