Alex Hall - Runs In The Family Lyrics

Keep grease on your elbows and the sweat in your days
Don't swallow your pride when you run out of strength
The whisky's never too far away
It runs in the family

Sing out for your angels with your demons in the dark
Don't ask for help when you're fallin' apart
Keeping secrets ain't that hard
It runs in the family

Put ten thousand miles on your pickup truck
Change your number just to stay sane
But you can't run away, no

When times get tough buckle down for the fight
Defend your blood even if they ain't right
Then disappear like a thief in the night
It runs in the family

Put twenty thousand miles on your pickup truck
Cut your hair and change your name
But you can't run away
You can't run away

Ooh, ooh, ooh
You can't run away (ooh)
Oh

I just had to tell you before the big day
There's a whole lot your gettin' when you're takin' my last name
But I love you forever and a day
It runs in the family
