Stubborn In My Blood

Stubborn In My Blood
TIA McGRAFF/TOMMY PARHAM

VERSE
My father’s mother came to these shores
On a boat from Transylvania
My mother’s great great grandfather died in a war
A Jacobite Scottish Highlander

Oh and they run through me
Like the deep growing roots of a redwood tree
I know who I am
Yes I know

CHORUS
I’ve Got stubborn in my blood
Running through my veins
It’s not in me to turn and walk away
If it takes 500 years
Like Noah and his flood
No I don’t give up
I’ve got stubborn in my blood

VERSE
I’ve loved and I’ve lost and I’ve laid it all down
With a heart full of vim and vinegar
Some days I wonder what those old folks would say
Might they fancy me a dreamer

Oh and they run through me
Like their passage of hope on a raging sea
I know who I am
Yes I know



CHORUS
