Lyrics

It's in My Blood

When I see these rolling hills, don't you know it gets me still
Brings a tear to my eye
It's almost a sacred place -- this land where I was born and raised
A quilt of green beneath a deep blue sky
Thought I left it all behind when I left home
But through the years I've come to know (that)

It's in my blood, it's who I am and always will be
It's where I'm from, and like a mother's voice, it keeps calling to me
I wear it like a badge of pride, it's on my sleeve and deep inside
I couldn't lose it if I tried
It's in my blood

Round these parts, you learn to sing sitting on a front porch swing
And the evening breeze sings along
I taught myself "Your Cheatin' Heart" on Daddy's hand-me-down guitar
To this day, it's still my favorite song
Music's always been my saving grace
That ain't ever gonna change

It's in my blood, it's who I am and always will be
It's where I'm from, and like a mother's voice, it keeps calling to me
I wear it like a badge of pride, it's on my sleeve and deep inside
I couldn't lose it if I tried
It's in my blood

These roots are strong and deep
This is my legacy
Long as I live and breathe

Yeah, it's in my blood, it's who I am and always will be
It's where I'm from, and like a mother's voice, it keeps calling to me
I wear it like a badge of pride, it's on my sleeve and deep inside
I couldn't lose it if I tried
It's in my blood
It's in my blood
