Son of a Son of a Son of an Asshole (funny country rock, sung by the father to his son) Verse 1 My granddaddy wore the uniform, steel in both his hands Hard man, proud man, raised up where he’d stand My daddy came right after him, same fire in his chest Could love you like a mountain, get mad like the West Verse 2 Then here came me, Lord knows the truth Half bad temper, half restless youth Can’t sit still for nothin’, always messing with stuff Break it trying to fix it, then call it tough luck Pre-Chorus I got their blood, their flaws, their pride A little too loud with nowhere to hide Chorus And now you’re the son of a son of a son of an asshole Four generations running wide open on throttle Your great grandpa, grandpa, me, now you Same hard head shining right on through Quick to get heated, slow to understand But loyal as dirt and strong as these hands Verse 3 I see you pacing circles, fiddling with a wire Eyes full of questions, heart full of fire Can’t leave a button alone, can’t let silence win Boy, I know that storm, I was born in that wind Pre-Chorus You got our spark, our curse, our drive Built to raise hell and somehow survive Chorus You’re the son of a son of a son of an asshole Family tree crooked but the roots run awful strong though Your great grandpa, grandpa, me, now you Lord, what in the world are the women gonna do? Quick to get heated, slow to understand But when love needs lifting, you’ll be first to stand Bridge So when that temper rises, son, slow your pace Strength ain’t loudness, wisdom ain’t a race Take the good we gave you, leave the worst behind Be the first hard-headed man who also takes his time Final Chorus You’re the son of a son of a son of an asshole But maybe you’ll be better, that’s the best goal Carry the honor, drop some of the pain Keep the backbone, lose some of the flame Four generations smiling somewhere above Rough men learning softer kinds of love 🎸
