Father’s Søn was written in honor of Wilson Jr.’s father who passed away on September 15, 2018. On social media, Wilson shared the following information about the song:
“Being born in the shadow of a man greater than his name and to be given the same, I was gifted with this song as an attempt to ra...
[Verse 1]
He was named by my grandma, she got it from the bible
And he passed it onto me, like granddaddy's rifle
Raised me up like sweet corn, created a disciple
Yeah, I fought it like hell, hell he became a rival
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I tried to be different
Tried to go against the grain
Didn't make no difference
I just ended up the same
[Chorus]
I've never known better, yeah
'Cause every bone's tethered
You wanna change my name, gotta drain my blood
God damn, I am my father's son, yeah
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I left town just to get out of his shadow
And he'd send me a twenty just to get back on that saddle
I put up a good fight, but I didn't win the battle
I guess the tree don't grow very far from the apple, no
[Chorus]
I've never known better, yeah
'Cause every bone's tethered
You wanna change my name, gotta drain my blood
God damn, I am my father's son
I am my father's son
[Bridge]
I wear his blue jean jacket and his name like a badge of honor
I used to hate being called Junior
Now I don't mind any longer
[Chorus]
I've never known better, yeah
'Cause every bone's tethered
You wanna change my name, gotta drain my blood
'Cause everything I am is everything he was
God damn, I am my father's son
I am my father's son
I am my father's son
