My Father's Son
When I left home I thought this bridge was burning
Crossed the line and there was no returning
I thought I was free
But now I know that it takes more than wheels
Back across the county line past the same old welcome sign
Seems like nothing's ever changed
No matter where I go, no matter where I've been
No matter what the cost, no matter what the sin
Demons that I've fought, the battles that I've won
Loves that I've lost, the distances I've run
I'm still my father's son
Now Courtney stayed here and watched the summers pass
He's got a wife and a couple of kids
And a life as smooth as glass
But he dreams about the things he missed
Thinking that there's something more than this
He don't know he's got it made
There's always something that you trade
And some things you'll never change
No matter where I go, no matter where I've been
No matter what the cost, no matter what the sin
Demons that I've fought, the battles that I've won
Loves I've lost, the distances I've run
I'm still my father's son
It doesn't seem that long ago
This town was my whole world
You know I thought that I could leave it all behind
But the truth will find us and the ties will bind us
No matter where we try to hide
Didn't know I had it made
There's always something that you trade
And some things we'll never change, never change
No matter where I go, no matter where I've been
No matter what the cost, no matter what the sin
Demons that I've fought, the battles that I've won
Loves that I've lost, the distances I've run
I'm still my father's son
I'm still my father's son
Crossed the line and there was no returning
I thought I was free
But now I know that it takes more than wheels
Back across the county line past the same old welcome sign
Seems like nothing's ever changed
No matter where I go, no matter where I've been
No matter what the cost, no matter what the sin
Demons that I've fought, the battles that I've won
Loves that I've lost, the distances I've run
I'm still my father's son
Now Courtney stayed here and watched the summers pass
He's got a wife and a couple of kids
And a life as smooth as glass
But he dreams about the things he missed
Thinking that there's something more than this
He don't know he's got it made
There's always something that you trade
And some things you'll never change
No matter where I go, no matter where I've been
No matter what the cost, no matter what the sin
Demons that I've fought, the battles that I've won
Loves I've lost, the distances I've run
I'm still my father's son
It doesn't seem that long ago
This town was my whole world
You know I thought that I could leave it all behind
But the truth will find us and the ties will bind us
No matter where we try to hide
Didn't know I had it made
There's always something that you trade
And some things we'll never change, never change
No matter where I go, no matter where I've been
No matter what the cost, no matter what the sin
Demons that I've fought, the battles that I've won
Loves that I've lost, the distances I've run
I'm still my father's son
I'm still my father's son
