men in my family - sam himself lyrics

[verse 1]
the son my father never had
returns to reckon with his past
and face the stone that bears his name
in a row of sons who did the same
he knows his place in that long line
what flowers to bring, what tears to cry
the son my father wished he’d raised
embraces what he can’t escape

[refrain]
men in my family don’t run from where they’re from
and some things never change

[verse 2]
the apple of my mother’s eye
heir to the th*rn in her side
fell as far as he could from the tree
“our roots, they bring us to our knees,” she said
men in my family don’t talk about why they walk away
or so they told me anyway
the shoulders i stand on
stand on shoulders and so on
how far a decent shrug could drop you
how long before i’ll know
[refrain]
men in my family don’t grow old, but we grow tall
maybe i am one after all
