Lyrics Father’s Søn - Acoustic - Hardy , Stephen Wilson Jr.

He was named by my grandma, she got it from the Bible
And he passed it onto me, like granddaddy's rifle
Raised me up like sweet corn, created a disciple
Yeah, I fought it like hell, hell he became my rival

I tried to be different
Tried to go against the grain
Didn't make no difference
I just ended up the same

I've never known better
'Cause every bone's tethered
You wanna change my name, gotta drain my blood
Goddamn, I am my father's son

Yeah, I left town just to get out of his shadow
He'd send me a 20 just to get back on the saddle
And I put up a good fight, but I didn't win the battle
I guess the tree don't grow very far from the apple

I've never known better, yeah
'Cause every bone's tethered
You wanna change my name, gotta drain my blood
Goddamn, I am my father's son

I am my father's son
I wear his blue-jean jacket and his name like a badge of honor
I used to hate being called "Junior"
But I don't mind any longer

I've never known better, yeah
'Cause every bone's tethered
You wanna change my name, gotta drain my blood
'Cause everything I am is everything he was
Goddamn, I am my father's son

Mm, I am my father's son
I am my father's son
