Bloodlines Lyrics

Mama ran the household workin' three 9 to 5's

Daddy ran from the law, wanted dead or alive

I was out of my mind mind almost half of the time

But some folks will say that I turned out just fine

Well I walk the line, and I walk it at night

Make a livin' like Grandaddy did

But I play these songs in these honky tonk bars

Cause my Daddy's blood, Lord, it runs thick

And I-I-I I just can't quit

I spent my summers out in Blue Ridge, Virginia

The way that I lived, some might call me sinner

The boys around here might go work in the mines

Or spend their time at night runnin' Moonshine

Well I walk the line, and I walk it at night

Make a livin' like Grandaddy did

But I play these songs in these honky tonk bars

Cause my Daddy's blood, Lord, it runs thick

And I-I-I I just can't quit

My brothers went off to fight in a war

That some folks will say for what, well they just ain't quite sure

Now they're out of their mind almost all of the time

And those same folks will say that those boys ain't quite right

Well I walk the line, and I walk it at night

Make a livin' like Grandaddy did

But I play these songs in these honky tonk bars

Cause my Daddy's blood, Lord, it runs thick

And I-I-I I just can't quit

Well I walk the line, and I walk it at night

Make a livin' like Grandaddy did

But I play these songs in these honky tonk bars

Cause my Daddy's blood, Lord, it runs thick

And I-I-I I just can't quit
