Runs In The Family - Bodeans

Well my dad he’s set in stone

Sees the world like his daddy did

Can’t seem to change with the times

And why would he now?

Ain’t a man of wasted words

Speaks mostly with his eyes

And you know when he’s mad

And he’s always mad, or so it seems

And it runs in the family

Might be the best of me, no

It’s gon' be the death of me, I know

And it ain’t hard to see

My mom who seems so sad

I don’t know who she really was

'Cause she was strong and fearless, stubborn and she didn’t break

And sometimes I’d see her staring off

To a dream a lifetime away

How she kept her sanity

Was all a mystery

And it runs in the family

Might be the best of me, no

It’s gon' be the death of me, I know

And it ain’t hard to see

It runs in the family

And oh, how the time goes by

With a weary blink of an eye

We become our parents just the same

Oh, turn the page

'Cause it runs in the family

Might be the best of me, no

It’s gon' be the death of me, I know

'Cause it ain’t hard to see

Oh, it runs in the family

Might be my destiny

It’s gon' be the death of me, I know

And it ain’t hard to see

It runs in the family
