In My Blood Lyrics by Bernard Houston
Bernard Houston Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Got my name from Uncle Houston who died when he was two
In 1933, he caught that dust bowl flu
On the family farm in Oklahoma where life was always tough
It's in my blood
[Verse 2]
For nine years, my Uncle Sam gave me a place to belong
The day my daddy turned sixteen, he left for Vietnam
And all his innocence, he left there in the mud
It's in my blood
[Chorus]
Like a Tulsa tornado, it's ripping through my veins
My past won't ever let go, it's churning like a train
You can't outrun your family
You can't outrun the pain when it flows, no
It feels like I'll always be shaking off the dust
Thought you should know if I am the one you darе to love
Ah, it's in my blood
[Verse 3]
My great grandpa was an outlaw, his middle namе was Bittercreek
Wanted dead or alive, so they shot him in his sleep
My favorite song is "Desperado" and I'm never growing up
It's in my blood
[Chorus]
Like a Tulsa tornado, it's ripping through my veins
My past won't ever let go, it's churning like a train
You can't outrun your family
You can't outrun the pain when it flows, no
It feels like I'll always be shaking off the dust
Thought you should know if I am the one you dare to love
Ah, it's in my blood
Yeah, yeah, oh
Woah, woah
[Verse 4]
So tell me your story, every quiet little storm
All the shame and all the glory from the day that you were born
'Cause there ain't no need to worry, you're the one I dare to love
It's in your blood
