Animal - Upchurch

Papaw was a painter, daddy was the same

Fought roosters on the weekend to keep the farm from the state

Them bills got higher, diesel climbed through the roof

Them numbers on them work trucks got disconnected too

Just a poor boy on a farm, foreclosed on my roots

Dip stains in my Wranglers and holes in my boots

Clueless to the world, fearful of no man

Raised a animal of my own, my teeth blood stain red

I’m alive

There’s a, there’s a animal inside

I’m from a, from another time

That’s why you never see me smile

There’s an animal inside

I’m a nobody, only bones and flesh

Just a feller with a last name the government made me have

But these feet have ran trails, these hands have touched the soil

So when I get to where I’m goin' my last name will be worth gold

I’m alive

There’s an animal inside

I’m from, from another time

That’s why you never see me smile

There’s an animal inside
