Dad was shy of other eyes
Work was all he liked
In his life, I didn't fit
It's why I am like this
Grandpa liked his alcohol
In a room so small
When he drank, he couldn't quit
It's why I am like this
Everything's alright, as long as it's out of sight
Every now and then, if I start to lose my mind
All I 'gotta do is go and follow up the line
Momma slept inside all day
Couldn't leave the house
In the night, she cried to bits
It's why I am like this
Everything's alright, as long as it's out of sight
Every now and then, if I start to lose my mind
All I 'gotta do is go and follow up the line
Grandma cared about her home
Worked down to her bones
Always covered up her wrists
It's why I am like this
It's why I am like this
It's why I am like this
