Who They Were
Grandpa went to war when he was just 18
Came back with a fighter's heart
He gave it to me
My dad took care of us
With his hands in the dirt
Taught me to suck it up
Taught me how to work
Don't write checks that you can't cash
Don't say nothing you can't take back
If it's something you believe
Don't let it go
Steady as the wind blows
Everything that I know
Every single blessing, every curse
I am who I am cause they were who they were
When I'm picking up the pieces of all my mistakes
I think about what he did & didn't do the same
Taught me how to run away
Sometimes drink too much
But when mama stayed
They taught me how to love
Steady as the wind blows
Everything that I know
Every single blessing, every curse
I am who I am cause they were who they were
Don't write checks that you can't cash
Don't say nothing you can't take back
If its something you believe don't let it go
Don't be ashamed of who you are
Don't give up can't pray too hard
No matter how far away you get
You can still come home
Steady as the wind blows
Everything that I know
Every single blessing every curse
I am who I am cause they were who they were
Came back with a fighter's heart
He gave it to me
My dad took care of us
With his hands in the dirt
Taught me to suck it up
Taught me how to work
Don't write checks that you can't cash
Don't say nothing you can't take back
If it's something you believe
Don't let it go
Steady as the wind blows
Everything that I know
Every single blessing, every curse
I am who I am cause they were who they were
When I'm picking up the pieces of all my mistakes
I think about what he did & didn't do the same
Taught me how to run away
Sometimes drink too much
But when mama stayed
They taught me how to love
Steady as the wind blows
Everything that I know
Every single blessing, every curse
I am who I am cause they were who they were
Don't write checks that you can't cash
Don't say nothing you can't take back
If its something you believe don't let it go
Don't be ashamed of who you are
Don't give up can't pray too hard
No matter how far away you get
You can still come home
Steady as the wind blows
Everything that I know
Every single blessing every curse
I am who I am cause they were who they were
