My hat hangs proud on the songs that I sing
There's a few where I've looked back and thought
Man, what was I thinkin'
Been ragged and dirty and driftin' with my own kind of style

It ain't pretty till it is when you walk it a while, oh
It's in my blood, it's in my bones
It's in every single word
To every single song, I've been singin'
It ain't me to be cut out and sold

Man, why can't you see? It's in my blood
There are more lines 'round my eyes than I knew were there
Like a map of the roads left behind and a thousand-mile stare

I don't have to listen too hard to hear the voice in my mind
It ain't pretty till it is when it ages like wine
Like fine country wine
It's in my blood, it's in my bones
It's in every single word
To every single song, I've been singin'
It ain't me to be cut out and sold

Man, why can't you see? It's in my blood
I use what I'm given
Making this living
I do what comes honest to me

Oh
It's in my blood, it's in my bones
It's in every single word
To every single song, I've been singin'
It ain't me to be cut out and sold
Man, why can't you see? It's in my blood

It's in my bones
It's in every single word
To every single song, I've been singin'
It ain't me to be cut out and sold
Man, why can't you see? It's in my blood

It's in my blood
In my blood
Oh, it's in my bones
