(Verse)
He was (C)named by my grandma she got it from the bi-(F)ble
And he (C)passsed it to me like grandaddy's ri-(F)fle
Raised me (C)up like sweet corn, created a disci-(C)pl
Yeah, I (C)fought it like hell, hell, he bacame a ri-(F)val

(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah, I (Dm)tried to be different
(Am)Tried to go against (F) the grain
Didn't (Dm)make no difference
(Am)I just ended up (F) the same

(Chorus)
(C) I've never known better (F) then
(C) 'Cause every bone's tethered (F)

(F) God damn, I am my father's (C)son, yeah (F)

(Verse)
Yeah, I (C)left town just to (G)get out of his shadow (F)
And he'd (C)send me a twenty just to (G)get back on the saddle (F)

Yeah, I am my father's (C)son (G) (F)

(Pre-Chorus)
I wear his (Dm)blue jean jacket and his (Am)name like a badge (F) of honor
I used (Dm) to hate being called (Am)Junior, but (F)I don't mind any longer

(Chorus)
(C) I've never known (G) better, (F) yeah
(C) 'Cause every bone's (G) tethered (F)
You wanna (C)change my name, gotta (G)drain my blood (F)
