Vance Gilbert
Son Of Someone’s Son
[Verse 1]
You have every reason to leave me here
You have every right to half of everything
I wouldn't have a leg to stand upon
If I came home and every single thing was gone
You'd be justified in taking it all and run
You have every right to call me names
After all the things I've said and done
I'm just a no good son of someone's son
[Verse 2]
Didn't see it 'til you came along
Couldn't quite make out the warning signs
There's a history of broken hеarts
I'm so sorry yours was next in line
I'm not saying that I'm not to blame
That's my paradе of lies marching by
I'm a walking talking smoking gun
I'm just a no good son of someone's son
[Bridge]
I tried to cut this bad blood line
But it ties me to my past
It might be from my Daddy's side
But I don't know
Now I'm twisted and I'm tangled
I face this thing head on
It won't leave me alone
'Til I let you go (Whoa, whoa)
[Verse 3]
If I leave this legacy behind
Maybe next time I won't be so blind
Might as well be talking to myself
That'll have to be with someone else
And maybe she won't notice like you did
Or like anybody else with eyes
You were on the money from day one
I'm just a no good son of someone's son

Now I'm twisted and I'm tangled
I face this thing head on
It won't leave me alone
'Til I let you go (Oh, 'til I let you go)
[Verse 3]

Maybe next time I won't be so blind
Might as well be talking to myself
That'll have to be with someone else
And maybe she won't notice like you did
Or like anybody else with eyes
You were on the money from day one
And I'm just a no good son of someone
Oh, I'm just a no good son
Help me if you can
I'm just a no good son of someone's son
[Outro]
Oh, every time I tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried, tried
Tried to be good
I'm so-bo-bo-bo-someone's son, hey now
I'm a no good son of someone's son
I gotta try another hand now
Don't ever think I could
And I"m just a no good son, yeah
