Father’s Søn (Acoustic)

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

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

God damn, I am my father's søn

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

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

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

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
