Lyrics

Stubborn In My Blood – 3:47

TIA McGRAFF/TOMMY PARHAM

VERSE

My father’s mother came to these shores

On a boat from Transylvania

My mother’s great great grandfather died in a war

A Jacobite Scottish Highlander

Oh oh oh and they run through me

Like the deep growing roots of a redwood tree

I know who I am

Yes I know

CHORUS

Got stubborn in my blood

Running through my veins

It’s not in me to turn and walk away

If it takes a hundred years

Like Noah and his flood

No I won’t give up

I’ve got stubborn in my blood

VERSE

I’ve loved and I’ve lost and I’ve laid it all down

With a heart full of vim and vinegar

Some days I wonder what those old folks would say

Would they fancy me a dreamer

Oh oh can feel them run through me

Like the deep growing roots of a redwood tree

And I know who I am

Yes I know

CHORUS
