Bloodlines

Mama ran the household workin' three 9 to 5's
Daddy ran from the law, wanted dead or alive
I was out of my mind mind almost half of the time
But some folks will say that I turned out just fine

Well I walk the line, and I walk it at night
Make a livin' like Grandaddy did
But I play these songs in these honky tonk bars
Cause my Daddy's blood, Lord, it runs thick
And I-I-I I just can't quit

I spent my summers out in Blue Ridge, Virginia
The way that I lived, some might call me sinner
The boys around here might go work in the mines
Or spend their time at night runnin' Moonshine

Well I walk the line, and I walk it at night
Make a livin' like Grandaddy did
But I play these songs in these honky tonk bars
Cause my Daddy's blood, Lord, it runs thick
And I-I-I I just can't quit

My brothers went off to fight in a war
That some folks will say for what, well they just ain't quite sure
Now they're out of their mind almost all of the time
And those same folks will say that those boys ain't quite right

Well I walk the line, and I walk it at night
Make a livin' like Grandaddy did
But I play these songs in these honky tonk bars
Cause my Daddy's blood, Lord, it runs thick
And I-I-I I just can't quit

Well I walk the line, and I walk it at night
Make a livin' like Grandaddy did
But I play these songs in these honky tonk bars
Cause my Daddy's blood, Lord, it runs thick
And I-I-I I just can't quit
