Grandpa liked grain alcohol
And women way too much
That trailer park, small town boy
Who never quite grew up
The hitting and the cheating
The quitting and the leaving
The apple didn't fall far from the tree
I guess it runs in the family
Daddy had a hard life, he grew up way too fast
Taking care of business he shouldn't have
Generation to generation
Same old shit, new iteration
He yelled at me like they yelled at him in the Navy
I guess it runs in the family
But I've got Daddy's temper and his heart of gold
I'm an overspender and from what I'm told
I got my Mama's lips and anxiety
All the things she tried to fix, so the irony
Is that it runs in the family
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do
It runs in the family
Mama thought that being perfect
Was the way to live her dreams
Then she married Daddy
So she tried to live through me
If I could just be skinny
Buttoned up, so prim and pretty
I could marry up, see a world she didn't see
I guess it runs in the family
But I've got Daddy's temper and his heart of gold
I'm an overspender and from what I'm told
I got my Mama's lips and anxiety
All the things she tried to fix, so the irony
Is that it runs in the family
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do
It runs in the family
I might do it differently
'Cause I'm making my own way
I learned the good from them
But I learned from their mistakes
So I'm fighting off my demons
That are coming straight for me
I know it's hereditary but I'm trying to break free
From what runs in my family
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do
It runs in the family
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do
It runs in the family
