We Ain't Even Kin Songtext
von Benjamin Tod

People say I look like my grandfather
And I begin to explain, we ain′t even kin
He'll interrupt with why bother
And saunter away with a sideways grin
We both understand not giving a damn about feeling
And why in the hell try and tell folks what you are living

And love is defined by decisions
And you may burn bridges, you ain′t got time to mend
You're too old to be in this condition
You're too young for the lord to take in


He′d read me the bible ′til midnight
He tale my hide, when he caught me in lies
When I dropped out of school, we did fight
And we lost some years in our foolish pride
And now I'm not sure if I′m better or worse for the distance
But we're not concerned cause there′s nothing to learn from resentment

And love is defined by decisions
And You may burn bridges, you ain't got time to mend
You′re too old to be in this condition
You're too young for the lord to take in

He cheers with the television
Hoping this year Kentucky will win
And I give a yell from the kitchen
No wear it with pride that I'm close to him
And I count the days and watch as the haze fills his eyes
But I won′t complain, it′s a privilege to live and die

And Love is defined by decisions
You may burn bridges, you ain't got time to mend
You′re too old to be in this condition
You're too young for the lord to take in
You′re too young for the lord to take in
