Bloodline Lyrics by Alex Warren & Jelly Roll
Take that pain, pass it down like photos on the wall
Momma said, “Your dad’s to blame, but that’s his Daddy’s fault”
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, there’s no one left to call
You say you’re counting down the days ’til you make your escape
But you’re afraid you can’t outrun what’s running through your veins
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, you’re carrying the weight
In the dead of night, on that broken road
I won’t let you walk alone
Oh, my brother
You don’t have to follow in your bloodline
Oh, we got each other
And if you got tomorrow, then you still got time
To break the chain that left you scarred
From where you came isn’t who you are
Oh, my brother
You don’t have to follow in your bloodline
Oh, I won’t pretend that I know half the hell you see
But that don’t mean that’s somethin’ that you’re destined to repeat
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, you’re stronger than you think
I know it has to end, but you don’t know where to start
You can pack your bags, and I’ll meet you where you are
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, I’ll be waiting in the car
In the dead of night, on that broken road
I won’t let you walk alone
Oh, my brother
You don’t have to follow in your bloodline
Oh, we got each other
And if you got tomorrow, then you still got time
To break the chain that left you scarred
From where you came isn’t who you are
Oh, my brother (Oh)
You don’t have to follow in your bloodline
The storm keeps on raging, but don’t you forget
God’s not done with you yet
When it feels like you’re losing the war in your head
Just know this isn’t the end
Oh, my brother
You don’t have to follow in your bloodline (In your bloodline)
Oh, we got each other
And if you got tomorrow, then you still got time (You still got time)
To break the chain that left you scarred
From where you came isn’t who you are
Oh, my brother
You don’t have to follow in your bloodline
