Daddy's DNA

I thought the world had something special I was missing
My daddy told me not to chase it, didn't listen
Fell downhill a mile a minute
Before I knew it, I was living in a pigsty, a long, long way from home

I went running like a rebel
Racked up debts I couldn't pay
I went dancing with the devil
With one foot in the grave

How the heaven did I get here?
Went and threw it all away
All I've given You was trouble
All You've given me was grace

And the freedom I was chasing felt like prison
Lord, I've done so many things I wish I didn't
After all the risky business, could I ever be forgiven?
I'm afraid to even ask to come back home

'Cause I went running like a rebel
Racked up debts I couldn't pay
I went dancing with the devil
With one foot in the grave

How the heaven did I get here?
Went and threw it all away
All I've given You was trouble
All You've given me was grace

Mm
Given me is grace
Mm

When I sobered up and came back to my senses
I was too far gone to make up all the distance
I gambled all that I'd been given
I was broke, alone and wishing
That I could turn around and go back home
When I heard the sound of footsteps down the road

And You came running like a rebel
Paid off debts I couldn't pay
And You went dancing with the devil
Sent that liar to his grave

How the heaven did I get here
Where every sin has been erased?
All I've given You is trouble
And all You've given me is grace

Mm
Mm-mm
Mm

And there was something in the marrow
Always coursing through my veins
But buried deeper than the rubble is my daddy's DNA
