Lyrics
Like Father, Like Son (feat. Joshua Hedley)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
His father was a gambler
Alcoholic, drunk bastard
Whatever you want to call it
Don't like the way he treated momma
Cheating and the lies
Find himself becoming the same guy
That he despised
Good old boy and an old Roadrunner
Pistol on his waist, he ready to throw Thunder
Told him: Living like that
You won't last that long
Living an Outlaw song
And trying to prove them all wrong
Through the property lines
He took pride in his hood
Fell in love with a rich girl from Brentwood
They had a son, he made a promise to change
He wrote that promise in chalk
And it was lost in the
Heavy rains, they fall upon me
As I make my last request
Things my daddy did before me
They're still ringing in my head
Like father, like father, like son
Like father, like father, like son
He lost his job
And his wife in the same week
Whiskey breath claim defeat
When the pain speaks
Phone ring, suicide by gun
He'd been fighting with the demons
And the devil had won
Survived by a mother and a couple of sons
Blood filled, bullet holes
Where a picture hung
Too much to bear, mamma cries
That it ain't fair
Questions linger in the air
Answers just ain't there
On her knees as she pleads: Lord, why?
Lil boy steps up with a look in his eye
As the chapter ends, another saga starts
I became a man with the last beat
Of my father's heart
Heavy rains, they fall upon me
As I make my last request
Things my daddy did before me
They're still ringing in my head
Like father, like father, like son
Like father, like father, like son
Rebel rouser playing with Peter's gun
I might hit a homerun if I was Jeters son
But I feel more like Dale Earnhardt Junior
Doing the same thing
That my daddy died doing
Trying to prove 'em proud
Legacy to maintain staring down
At the grave site, bearing the same name
Chasing footsteps to the same storm
That swallowed him
Momma home hollering
I shut the door and follow him
Wanted to fill his boots
But I got bigger feet
He never made it past 30, guess I got him beat
Learning how to be a man
Through the stories around the campfire
They pump me full of gas and it backfired
Great man did wrong for the right reasons
I still hear his voice: Feed em' by any means, son
Family first, don't forget where you come from
Lifes a knife fight, bring guns for the
Heavy rains, they fall upon me
As I make my last request
Things my daddy did before me
They're still ringing in my head
Like father, like father, like son
Like father, like father, like son
