Blame It On The Tree

Well, my mama and her mama drove my daddy and my granddaddy crazy
I guess you could say
It was a long line of women with some real strong opinions that made me
Yeah, baby

You can't change what's in my veins
It ain't my fault, so boy

Don't blame it on me, blame it on the tree
That I fell from, you know I come by it honestly
My roots run way too deep to be pulling them up
They're stuck where they oughta be
You can't just bury what's hereditary
So don't blame it on the apple, blame it on the tree

Well, my daddy and his daddy were some hard-loving, hard-headed son of a guns
And I'm another one
Of a fifth generation with a stubborn reputation
So just know, it's a family thing

And I can't change what's in my name
It ain't my fault, so boy

Don't blame it on me, blame it on the tree
That I fell from, you know I come by it honestly
My roots run way too deep to be pulling them up
They're stuck where they oughta be
You can't just bury what's hereditary
So don't blame it on the apple, blame it on the tree

So don't blame it on the apple, blame it on the tree
The heart that I was given, blame it on the tree
The way that I'm living, blame it on the tree

So don't blame it on me, blame it on the tree
That I fell from, you know I come by it honestly
My roots run way too deep to be pulling them up
They're stuck where they oughta be
You can't just bury what's hereditary
So don't blame it on the apple, blame it on the tree

Oh, blame it on the tree
