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 wanna be
And 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
Ain't much of nothing that I didn't try
Looking for love in every wrong place didn't make it right
I hurt a lotta people 'cause hurt people hurt
But saying, "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 wanna be
And 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
Yeah
I ran like hell to Jesus, I didn't know what else to do
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
And I got forgiveness for the smallest of things
And I got who he was and who I didn't wanna be
And 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
