I thought the world had something special I was missing

My daddy told me not to chase it, didn't listen

Fell downhill a mile a minute, before I knew it, I was livin'

In a pig sty a long, long way from home.

I went runnin' like a rebel

Racked up debts I couldn't pay

I went dancin' with the devil

With one foot in the grave

How the heaven did I get here?

Went and threw it all away

All I've given you was trouble

All you've given me was grace.

And the freedom I was chasing felt like prison

Lord, I've done so many things, wish I didn't

And after all the risky business, could I ever be forgiven?

I'm afraid to even ask to come back home.

'cause I went runnin' like a rebel

Racked up debts I couldn't pay

I went dancin' with the devil

With one foot in the grave

How the heaven did I get here?

Went and threw it all away

All I've given you was trouble

All you've given me is grace

Mm...

Given me is grace

Mm...

When I sobered up and came back to my senses

I was too far gone to make up all the distance

I gambled all that I'd been given

I was broke, alone and wishing

That I could turn around and go back home

When I heard the sound of footsteps down the road.

You came runnin' like a rebel

Paid off debts I couldn't pay

You went dancin' with the devil

Sent that liar to his grave

How the heaven did I get here?

Where every sin has been erased

All I've given you was trouble

All you've given me is grace

Mm, mm, mm...

There was something in the marrow

Always coursin' through my veins

But buried deeper than the rubble

Is my daddy's dna.
