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

CHORUS
Got stubborn in my blood
Running through my veins
It’s not in me to turn and walk away
If it takes a hundred years
Like Noah and his flood
No I won’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
Would they fancy me a dreamer

Oh oh can feel them run through me
Like the deep growing roots of a redwood tree
And I know who I am
Yes I know



CHORUS
