[Verse]
He was (C)named by my grandma
She (G)got it from the bi-(F)ble
And he (C)passed it to me
Like (G)grandaddy's ri-(F)fle
Raised me (C)up like sweet corn
(G)Created a disci-(F)ple
Yeah, I (C)fought it like hell
Hell (G)he became a ri-(F)val
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah I (C)tried to be different
(Am)Tried to go against (F) the grain
Didn't (C)make no difference
(Am)I just ended up the (F) same
 
[Chorus]
(C) I've never known (G) better, (F) yeah

[Verse]
Yeah, (C)I left town
Just to (G)get out of his shad-(F)ow
And he'd (C)send me a twenty
Just to (G)get back on the sad-(F)-dle
I put up (C)a good fight
But I (G)didn't win the bat-(F)-tle
I guess the (C)tree don't grow
Very (G)far from the ap-(F)ple
 
[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) God damnit I am my father's (C)son (G) (F)
Yeah, I am my father's (C)son (G) (F)
 
[Pre-Chorus]
I wear his (C)blue jean jacket
And his (Am)name like a badge (F) of honor
I (C)used to hate being (Am)called Junior
But (F)I don't mind any longer
 
[Outro.]
(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)
Cause every-(C)thing I am is every-(G)thing he was
(F) God damn I am...
My father's (C)son (G)
(F) I am my father's (C)son (G)
(F) I am my father's (C)son (G) - - - (C) - - - - -
