She took the kids away
We ran like hell to Houston
She told us Daddy lost his mind
That we'd make a brand new start
I made a quick mess of things
Got in trouble with a girl from high school
No matter how I tried
I kept breaking Mama's heart
Two weeks straight
On a rig off of the Gulf Coast
Puts a family under pressure
It's a hard and heavy load
Isabella had a boy
So the circle was unbroken
Everybody saw it coming
I found myself alone
Maybe I'm just like him
A little bit crazy
Is there any hope
For this roughneck's son
Even if I could
Would I change my ways
It's easier to believe
It's in the blood
I started running with the boys
That were dealing in Laredo
Mama saw that money coming
She was begging me to quit
But the cash and the clothes and the cars
Kept getting better
I had a fire in my veins
And a meanness in my step
Maybe I'm just like him
A little bit crazy
Is there any hope
For this roughneck's son
Even if I could
Would I change my ways
It's easier to believe
It's in the blood
Waiting at the gate
For Mateo's plane to touch down
Agents with dogs
Said boy you're coming with us
I said I'd rather die free
I took off running
And die I did
When they both drew their guns
Maybe I'm just like him
A little bit crazy
Is there any hope
For a roughneck's son
Even if I could
Would I change my ways
It's easier to believe
It's in the blood
