"My Side Of The Family" lyrics

My side of the family is a midnight highway crash
Lead foot on the pedal, heading nowhere way too fast
My old man was mean as he could be when he got high
He held the dark so heavy that he never saw the light
And I ain't nothing like him but the scars go down the line

Do I got them same demons running in my blood?
'Cause I got this strange feeling if I have a son
That I'm gonna pass down the same things
He can't change it, he'll blame it all on his daddy
So I'm praying he don't take after me
And my side of the family

Her side of the family is the furthest thing from mine
Her daddy loves me like his own, says call him anytime
We've been talking 'bout the future, she says she wants two or three
And it ain't 'cause I don't love her that makes me keep on losing sleep

Do I got them same demons running in my blood?
'Cause I got this strange feeling if I have a son
That I'm gonna pass down the same things
He can't change it, he'll blame it all on his daddy
So I'm praying he don't take after me
And my side of the family
My side of the family

I can run, run, run
But can I ever outrun my raising?
Can I ever really change it?
Isn't loving me dangerous?

Do I got them same demons running in my blood?
'Cause I got this strange feeling if I have a son
That I'm gonna pass down the same things
He can't change it, he'll blame it all on his daddy
So I'm praying he don't take after me
So I pray you don't take after me
And my side of the family
My side of the family
