In My Blood

Got my name from uncle Houston who died when he was two
In 1933, he caught that dust bowl flu
On the family farm in Oklahoma, where life was always tough
Its in my blood

For 9 years my Uncle Sam gave me a place to belong
The day my daddy turned 16 he left for Vietnam
And all his innocence he left there in the mud
Its in my blood

Like a Tulsa tornado its ripping through my veins
My past wont ever let go its churning like a train
You cant outrun your family you cant outrun the pain when it flows
It feels like ill always be shaking of the dust
Thought you should know if I am the one you dare to love
Ah its in my blood Yeah Ooh

My great grandpas was an outlaw his middle name was Bittercreek
Wanted dead or alive so they shot him in his sleep
My favorite song is desperado and Im never growing up
Its in my blood

Like a Tulsa tornado its ripping through my veins
My past wont ever let go its churning like a train
You cant outrun your family you cant outrun the pain when it flows
It feels like ill always be shaking of the dust
Thought you should know if I am the one you dare to love
Ah its in my blood

So tell me your story, every quiet little storm
All the shame and all the glory from the day that you were born
Aint no need to worry cuz your the one I dare to love
Whats in your blood?
