lyrics

my dad he’s a millwright
my father was a drunk
my mama worked long overnights
and taught me how to love
my grandma was a drinker
my brother gets spun
put ‘em all together
and you’ve got the son

born in the night time
on a winter day
in a little small town hospital
my mama did great
i came out real quick
with a smile on my face
and hair on top my head
my future looks bright

but i grew up too fast
with a heart full of words
had to put them into songs
so i could feel heard
but small town life
was lookin’ like a drag
so i packed up my words
and took them out into the world

i saw some pretty things
but most times were hard
learnt a lot of lessons
and I got some new scars
made a lot of friends
and i lost a lot more
but the shit that we go through
makes us who we are

i let myself down
more times than one
picked myself up
and found myself some love
headed to down south
and got myself a dog
learned how to garden
and wrote some new songs

but now im back up north
and im feelin kinda lost
this winters been real mild
but my hearts been full of frost
cold and alone
in the place that i called home
i guess that im just destined
to ramble and roam

my dad he’s a millwright
my father was a drunk
my mama worked long overnights
and taught me how to love
my grandma was a drinker
and my brother he gets spun
you put ‘em all together
and you’ve got the son
