In My Blood

Got my name from uncle Houston who died when he was two In 1933, he caught that dust bowl flu On the family farm in Oklahoma, where life was always tough Its in my blood For 9 years my Uncle Sam gave me a place to belong The day my daddy turned 16 he left for Vietnam And all his innocence he left there in the mud Its in my blood Like a Tulsa tornado its ripping through my veins My past wont ever let go its churning like a train You cant outrun your family you cant outrun the pain when it flows It feels like ill always be shaking of the dust Thought you should know if I am the one you dare to love Ah its in my blood Yeah Ooh My great grandpas was an outlaw his middle name was Bittercreek Wanted dead or alive so they shot him in his sleep My favorite song is desperado and Im never growing up Its in my blood Like a Tulsa tornado its ripping through my veins My past wont ever let go its churning like a train You cant outrun your family you cant outrun the pain when it flows It feels like ill always be shaking of the dust Thought you should know if I am the one you dare to love Ah its in my blood So tell me your story, every quiet little storm All the shame and all the glory from the day that you were born Aint no need to worry cuz your the one I dare to love Whats in your blood?
