Verse 1 Got his hands in my reflection Every time I look down Work boots by the back door Same dirt on this ground Said, “Boy, you’ll make your own mistakes” But don’t forget my name Chorus I might bend, I might break Might get lost, might get late Might take roads he wouldn’t take But I hear him in my blood Every choice I make When I’m one step from going too far He pulls me back like a prayer Yeah I ain’t always who I should be But he didn’t raise me that way Verse 2 There were nights I didn’t call him Times I let him down Swore I’d do it different But I still hear that sound Screen door, Sunday morning “Get up, earn your name” Chorus I might bend, I might break Might get lost, might get late Might take roads he wouldn’t take But I hear him in my blood Every choice I make When I’m one step from going too far He pulls me back like a prayer Yeah I ain’t always who I should be But he didn’t raise me that way Bridge If I ever have a son Hope he sees what I see now Final Chorus (lift) I might bend, I might break But I carry what he gave Even when I walk away He’s still running through my veins When I’m one step from going too far I hear him right there I ain’t perfect, never will be But he didn’t raise me that way
