Ran In the Family

I remember what grandma said

When I was just shy of nine years old

You got some habits you don't know about yet

And some can't quit in your bones

Some say you don't stand a chance

When you're fighting with your DNA

Whiskey breath and shaky hands

Are a hell of a trait

That ran in the family, who knows who to blame

I guess ya pass down more than your last name

They say that apple don't fall

Far from the tree

But they don't get a say in who I'm gonna be

It ran in the family, till it ran into me

No, I ain't even got kids yet

But I can tell you my six year old

Won't be laying there in his bed

Hoping daddy don't even come home

No, mine didn't see it that way

Even though it's still his fault

It goes deeper than the holes in the walls

It ran in the family, who knows who to blame

I guess ya pass down more than your last name

They say that apple don't fall

Far from the tree

But they don't get a say in who I'm gonna be

It ran in the family, till it ran into me

Till it ran into me

The healing gets a easier

When you realize the truth

The reason you need healing

Is 'cause they need healing too

It ran in the family, who knows who to blame

I guess ya pass down more than your last name

They say the apple don't fall

Far from the tree

But they don't get a say in who I'm gonna be

It ran in the family, till it ran into me

I won't take one down

Pass it around

'Cause I know where that leads

I hope years from now

I'll be proud that ended with me
