Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
I tried to be different
Tried to go against the grain
Didn't make no difference
I just ended up the same
[Chorus]
I've never known better, yeah
'Cause every bone's tethered
You wanna change my name
Gotta drain my blood
God damn, I am my father's søn
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I left town just to get out of his shadow
He'd send me a twenty just to get back on the 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
[Chorus]
I've never known better, yeah
'Cause every bone's tethered
You wanna change my name
Gotta drain my blood
God damn, I am my father's søn
I am my father's søn
[Bridge]
I wear his blue jean jacket and his name like a badge of honor
I used to hate being called "Junior"
But I don't mind any longer
[Chorus]
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
God damn, I am my father's søn
I am my father's søn
I am my father's søn
