My Inheritance
I knew he loved his whiskey
I knew he loved his wine
But I was never quite sure if he loved me
And I always wondered why
I didn't want his money
Lord knows he didn't have much
Maybe this guitar he gave me
Was his "I believe in you son"
I didn't get forgiveness for the smallest of things
But I got who he was and who I didn't want to be
God I'm thankful for the beauty in the mess
I wouldn't be the man I am today
I guess that's my inheritance
There ain't much of nothin'
That I didn't try
Looking for love in every wrong place
Didn't make it right
I hurt a lot people
'Cause hurt people hurt
And sayin' sorry when you're not sorry man it never works
I didn't get forgiveness for the smallest of things
But I got who he was and who I didn't want to be
God I'm thankful for the beauty in the mess
I wouldn't be the man I am today
I guess that's my inheritance
I ran like hell to Jesus
Didn't know what else to do
He showed me his hands
And He said, "Son I did this for you"
And you'll be a daddy like you never knew
'Cause I take broken things and make 'em new
I got forgiveness for the smallest of things
I got who He was and who I wanted to be
God I'm thankful you saw beauty in this mess
It made me the man I am today
I guess that's my inheritance
That's my inheritance
I knew he loved his wine
But I was never quite sure if he loved me
And I always wondered why
I didn't want his money
Lord knows he didn't have much
Maybe this guitar he gave me
Was his "I believe in you son"
I didn't get forgiveness for the smallest of things
But I got who he was and who I didn't want to be
God I'm thankful for the beauty in the mess
I wouldn't be the man I am today
I guess that's my inheritance
There ain't much of nothin'
That I didn't try
Looking for love in every wrong place
Didn't make it right
I hurt a lot people
'Cause hurt people hurt
And sayin' sorry when you're not sorry man it never works
I didn't get forgiveness for the smallest of things
But I got who he was and who I didn't want to be
God I'm thankful for the beauty in the mess
I wouldn't be the man I am today
I guess that's my inheritance
I ran like hell to Jesus
Didn't know what else to do
He showed me his hands
And He said, "Son I did this for you"
And you'll be a daddy like you never knew
'Cause I take broken things and make 'em new
I got forgiveness for the smallest of things
I got who He was and who I wanted to be
God I'm thankful you saw beauty in this mess
It made me the man I am today
I guess that's my inheritance
That's my inheritance
