Bloodlines
Drunk all my sorrows
Turn worry to smoke
Born into bad luck, baptized in broke
Black lungs, coal mines
Stoled pills to cheap wine
Souls are shot from the running
Caged like a coyote
In a cold twelve by ten
Carved in the concrete
By my daddy's hand
His two initials
To make it official
I'm going down by the way I was raised
Levee done broke again
River don't give a damn
Cut veins, floodplains
Drown in the old shame
Fly till you fall
It's there on the wall
The water flows one way
Your last name, you can't change
The bloodlines
I ain't the answer
To nobody's prayers
I've said my own
Don't nobody care
Fight off the demons
But damn if I don't need 'em
To keep this old hand me down heart beating
Levee done broke again
River don't give a damn
Cut veins, floodplains
Drown in the old shame
Fly till you fall
It's there on the wall
The water flows one way
Your last name, you can't change
The bloodlines
Levee done broke again
River don't give a damn
Cut veins, floodplains
Drown in the old shame
Fly till you fall
It's there on the wall
The water flows one way
Your last name, you can't change
The bloodlines
No, you can change the bloodlines
It's there on the wall
Can't change the bloodlines
Turn worry to smoke
Born into bad luck, baptized in broke
Black lungs, coal mines
Stoled pills to cheap wine
Souls are shot from the running
Caged like a coyote
In a cold twelve by ten
Carved in the concrete
By my daddy's hand
His two initials
To make it official
I'm going down by the way I was raised
Levee done broke again
River don't give a damn
Cut veins, floodplains
Drown in the old shame
Fly till you fall
It's there on the wall
The water flows one way
Your last name, you can't change
The bloodlines
I ain't the answer
To nobody's prayers
I've said my own
Don't nobody care
Fight off the demons
But damn if I don't need 'em
To keep this old hand me down heart beating
Levee done broke again
River don't give a damn
Cut veins, floodplains
Drown in the old shame
Fly till you fall
It's there on the wall
The water flows one way
Your last name, you can't change
The bloodlines
Levee done broke again
River don't give a damn
Cut veins, floodplains
Drown in the old shame
Fly till you fall
It's there on the wall
The water flows one way
Your last name, you can't change
The bloodlines
No, you can change the bloodlines
It's there on the wall
Can't change the bloodlines
