Father's Søn

He was named by my grandma, she got it from the Bible

And he passed it on to me like my grandaddy's rifle

Raised me up like sweet corn, created a disciple

Yeah, I fought it like hell, hell, he became a rival

Yeah, I tried to be different, tried to go against the grain

Didn't make no difference, I just ended up the same

I've never known better, yeah

'Cause every bone's tethered

You wanna change my name? Gotta drain my blood

Goddamn, I am my father's søn, yeah

Yeah, I left town just to get out of his shadow

And he'd send me a twenty just to get back on that saddle

I put up a good fight, but I didn't win the battle

I guess the tree don't grow very far from the apple

I've never known better, yeah

'Cause every bone's tethered

You wanna change my name? Gotta drain my blood

Goddamn, I am my father's søn

I am my father's søn

I wear his blue jean jacket and his name like a badge of honor

I used to hate being called Junior

I don't mind any longer

I've never known better, yeah

'Cause every bone's tethered

You wanna change my name? Gotta drain my blood

'Cause everything I am's everything he was

Goddamn, I am my father's søn

I am my father's søn

I am my father's søn
