[Verse 1]
Gb       Db
  He was named by my grandma,
                      Gb
she got it from the bible
             Db
And he passed  it onto me,
                    Gb
like granddaddy's rifle
            Db
Raised me up  like sweet corn,
               Gb
created a disciple
        Db
Yeah, I fought it like hell,
                   Gb
hell he became a rival

[Pre-Chorus]
             Ebm                     Bbm7
Yeah, I tried   to be different Tried
             Gb
to go against  the grain
           Ebm               Bbm7
Didn't make   no difference I
             Gb
just ended up  the same

[Chorus]
Db                Ab       Gb
  I've never known  better,  yeah
Db                   Ab        Gb
  'Cause every bone's  tethered
          Db
You wanna change my name,
      Ab            Gb
gotta drain my blood
                           Db       Ab
God damn, I am my father's son, yeah

[Verse 2]
Gb
  Yeah,
Db                  Ab                   Gb
I left town just to get out of his shadow
         Db                       Ab                     Gb
And he'd send me a twenty just to get back on that saddle
        Db
I put up  a good fight,
      Ab                Gb
but I didn't win the battle
            Db                   Ab             Gb
I guess the tree don't grow very far from the apple,
no

[Chorus]

  I've never known  better,  yeah

gotta drain my blood

[Bridge]
Gb           Ebm                      Bbm7             Gb
  I wear his blue jean jacket and his name like a badge  of
honor
      Ebm                     Bbm7
I used   to hate being called Junior
