[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
'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
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
'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
