My Inheritance

I knew he loved his whiskey I knew he loved his wine But I was never quite sure if he loved me And I always wondered why I didn′t want his money Lord knows he didn't have much Maybe this guitar he gave me Was his "I believe in you son" I didn′t get forgiveness for the smallest of things But I got who he was and who I didn't want to be God I'm thankful for the beauty in the mess I wouldn′t be the man I am today I guess that′s my inheritance There ain't much of nothin′ That I didn't try Looking for love in every wrong place Didn′t make it right I hurt a lot people 'Cause hurt people hurt And sayin′ sorry when you're not sorry man it never works I didn't get forgiveness for the smallest of things But I got who he was and who I didn′t want to be God I′m thankful for the beauty in the mess I wouldn't be the man I am today I guess that′s my inheritance I ran like hell to Jesus Didn't know what else to do He showed me his hands And He said, "Son I did this for you" And you′ll be a daddy like you never knew 'Cause I take broken things and make ′em new I got forgiveness for the smallest of things I got who He was and who I wanted to be God I'm thankful you saw beauty in this mess It made me the man I am today I guess that's my inheritance That′s my inheritance
