Upbringing

Granny bought me cigarettes when I was 15

When rain came around and times got hard

But daddy taught me had to clip the wings off some green

Sometimes you gotta make your own light in the dark

I turned 21, found a good bar fight

Was one more round and one wrong hook

Yeah, I was so mad and I didn't know why

So tried finding peace in a good book

Yeah, I've heard a silver lining

And I'm wondering where the hell that mine went

I'm way too young to feel this hungover

How do I keep this ship from sinking?

I swear I only hear the devil on my shoulder

He keeps leading me straight into the deep end

Deep in the whiskey like my family tree

Wanna be the one to rewrite history

Can't help but pour one down, drain the glass I'm drinking

Hard stuff goes with a tough upbringing

Scars on my knuckles, scars on my heart

Got bars on the windows, cars in the yard

And everything I know is going up in smoke

Hell, I don't even know where to start

But I'm way too young to feel this hungover

How do I keep this ship from sinking?

I swear I only hear the devil on my shoulder

He keeps leading me straight into the deep end

Deep in the whiskey like my family tree

Wanna be the one to rewrite history

Can't help but pour one down, drain the glass I'm drinking

Hard stuff goes with a tough upbringing

Oh, oh

Yeah, I've heard a silver lining

And I'm wondering where the hell that mine went

I'm way too young to feel this hungover

How do I keep this ship from sinking?

I swear I only hear the devil on my shoulder

He keeps leading me straight into the deep end

Deep in the whiskey like my family tree

Wanna be the one to rewrite history

Can't help but pour one down, drain the glass I'm drinking

Hard stuff goes with a tough upbringing

Oh, oh
