I remember what grandma said
When I was just shy of 9 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
Til it ran into me
No, I ain't even got kids yet
But I can tell you my 6 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 til 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 til 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
