Runs In The Family Lyrics by Zandi Holup

2023

[Verse 1]
Grandpa liked green alcohol and women way too much
That trailerpark small town bo who never quite grew up
The hitting and the cheating
The quitting and the leaving
The apple didn't fall far from the tree
Guess it runs in the family
[Verse 2]
Daddy had a hard life, he grew up way too fast
Taking care of business, he shouldn't have
Generation to generation
Same old shit, new iteration
He yelled at me like they yelled at him in the Navy
Guess it runs in the family
[Chorus]
I've got daddy's temper and his heart of gold
I'm an overspender and from what I'm told
I got my momma's lips and anxiety
All the things she tried to fix
So the irony is that it runs in the family
[Post-Chorus]
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
It runs in the family
[Verse 3]
Momma thought that being perfect was the way to live her dreams
Then she married daddy so she tried to live through me
If I could just be skinny
Buttoned up so prim and pretty
I could marry up, see the world she didn't see
Guess it runs in the family
[Chorus]
I've got daddy's temper and his heart of gold
I'm an overspender and from what I'm told
I got my momma's lips and anxiety
All the things she tried to fix
So the irony is that it runs in the family
[Bridge]
I might do it differently
'Cause I'm making my own way
I learned the good from them
But I learned from their mistakes
[Verse 4]
So I'm fighting off my demons that are coming straight for me
I know it's hereditary but I'm trying to break free
From what runs in my family
[Outro]
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
It runs in the family
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
It runs in the family
