Verso 1

I knew he loved his whiskey
I knew he loved his wine
But I was never quite sure
If he loved me
And I always wondered why
I didn’t want his money
Lord knows he didn’t have much
Maybe this guitar he gave me
Was his I believe in you son

Coro

I didn’t get forgiveness
For the smallest of things
But I got who He was and who
I didn’t want to be
And God I’m thankful
For the beauty in the mess
I wouldn’t be the man I am today
I guess that’s my inheritance

Verso 2

There ain’t much of nothin’
That I didn’t try
Looking for love in every wrong place
Didn’t make it right
I hurt a lot people
Cause hurt people hurt
And sayin’ sorry when
You’re not sorry man it never works

Coro

I didn’t get forgiveness
For the smallest of things
But I got who He was and who
I didn’t want to be
And God I’m thankful
For the beauty in the mess
I wouldn’t be the man I am today
I guess that’s my inheritance

Verso 3

I ran like hell to Jesus
Didn’t know what else to do
He showed me His hands
And He said Son
I did this for you
And you’ll be a daddy
Like you never knew
‘Cause I take broken things
And make ‘em new

Coro

And I got forgiveness
For the smallest of things
And I got who He was and who
I wanted to be
And God I’m thankful
For You saw beauty in this mess
It made me the man I am today
I guess that’s my inheritance

Outro

That’s my inheritance
