Runs In The Family

[Verse 1]
Well my dad he's set in stone
Sees the world like his daddy did
Can't seem to change with the times
And why would he now?
Ain't a man of wasted words
Speaks mostly with his eyes
And you know when he's mad
And he's always mad, or so it seems

[Chorus]
And it runs in the family
Might be the best of me, no
It's gon' be the death of me, I know
And it ain't hard to see

[Verse 2]
My mom who seems so sad
I don't know who she really was
'Cause she was strong and fearless, stubborn and she didn't break
And sometimes I'd see her staring off
To a dream a lifetime away
How she kept her sanity
Was all a mystery

[Chorus]
And it runs in the family
Might be the best of me, no
It's gon' be the death of me, I know
And it ain't hard to see
It runs in the family

[Bridge]
And oh, how the time goes by
With a weary blink of an eye
We become our parents just the same
Oh, turn the page

[Chorus]
'Cause it runs in the family
Might be the best of me, no
It's gon' be the death of me, I know
'Cause it ain't hard to see
Oh, it runs in the family
Might be my destiny
It's gon' be the death of me, I know
And it ain't hard to see
It runs in the family
