HE WAS NAMED BY MY GRANDMA
SHE GOT IT FROM THE BIBLE
AND HE PASSED IT DOWN TO ME LIKE GRANDADDY’S RIFLE
RAISED ME UP LIKE SWEET CORN CREATED A DISCIPLE
YEAH, I FOUGHT IT LIKE HELL, HELL HE BECAME MY RIVAL
I TRIED TO BE DIFFERENT
TRIED TO GO AGAINST THE GRAIN
DIDN’T MAKE NO DIFFERENCE
I JUST ENDED UP THE SAME
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
YEAH I LEFT TOWN JUST TO GET OUT OF HIS SHADOW
AND HE’D SEND ME A TWENTY JUST TO GET BACK ON MY 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
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
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
I’VE NEVER KNOWN BETTER YEAH
CAUSE EVERY BONE’S TETHERED
YOU WANNA CHANGE MY NAME
GOTTA DRAIN MY BLOOD
CAUSE EVERYTHING I AM’S EVERYTHING HE WAS
GOD DAMN I AM MY FATHER’S SON
I AM MY FATHER’S SON
I AM MY FATHER’S SON
