"Daddy's DNA (Live)" lyrics

"Daddy's DNA (Live)"

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 livin'
In a pig sty a long, long way from home

I went runnin' like a rebel
Racked up debts I couldn't pay
I went dancin' 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, wish I didn't
And after all the risky business, could I ever be forgiven?
I'm afraid to even ask to come back home

'Cause I went runnin' like a rebel
Racked up debts I couldn't pay
I went dancin' 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 is 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

You came runnin' like a rebel
Paid off debts I couldn't pay
You went dancin' 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 was trouble
All You've given me is grace
Mm, mm, mm

There was something in the marrow
Always coursin' through my veins
But buried deeper than the rubble
Is my Daddy's DNA
