When I was younger
I thought he was a god with a guitar
Mama was a bombshell with her hand on her hip
Standing outside the trailer park
Every time he'd vanish
And I the angel he'd banish

Now I'm a little too Texas for Tennessee
I smiled in the picture, but I was gritting my teeth
They found bitter in my bones when they broke this show pony
Said I'd be a star, hell, they don't even know me
What runs in the blood ain't ever gonna stop
I might look like my mama
But I smile like my daddy's mugshot

I made a record that didn't brеak no records
Only my soul
I ran my mouth and I swore up and down
That I'd pack all my shit and go home
Oh, I shoulda known

I'm a littlе too Texas for Tennessee
I smiled in the picture, but I was gritting my teeth
They found bitter in my bones when they broke this show pony
Said I'd be a star, hell, they don't even know me
What runs in the blood ain't ever gonna stop
I might look like my mama
But I smile like my daddy's mugshot

Yeah, I wouldn't kiss the ring
wouldn't get down on my knees
When they kicked me out the door
I could hear em saying, "She's

A little too Texas for Tennessee"
I smiled in the picture, but I was gritting my teeth
They found bitter in my bones when they broke this show pony
Said I'd be a star, hell, they don't even know me
What runs in the blood ain't ever gonna stop
I might look like my mama
But I smile like my daddy's mugshot

Mm
Yeah, they'll get their karma
And I'll smile like my daddy's mugshot
