the trouble with blood |
|
I
heard this poor town --'s daddy --- |
like
he was just some kind of crazy old fool |
Maybe
he is, maybe he ain't - hey, I don't know |
But
I know that boy loves his daddy |
just
about as much as he can stand |
Cruel
words get spoken and hearts get broken |
It's
hard to understand |
That's
the trouble with blood, your sons and your daughters |
That's
the trouble with blood, it's thicker than water |
|
I
heard his mama screaming at her daughter the other day |
that
she wished she'd never been born |
All
those tears welling up in both of their eyes |
You
know that mama never had more joy |
than
when that baby come into this world |
The
pain and the sorrow will be there tomorrow |
It's
hard to understand |
That's
the trouble with blood, your mothers and fathers |
That's
the trouble with blood, it's thicker than water |
You
can't wash it out, no, no |
You
can curse it you can swear it |
That's
the trouble with blood, you just gotta wear it |
It's
hard to understand...etc |
