lyrics

V1
Had my first sip at 15
on some fool's gold from Milwaukee
it was at my father's offering
He said "son you grow up so damn fast
sprint the marathon come in last"
Married at 22
by 25 we had you
at 40 lost my job and your mother too

V2
made it through University
never that guy at the party
held my liquor well
"The Reservoir" they called me
a deluge came could not contain
crashed with violence erased the bank
Oh my darlin'
had I known it would go this far
I might have been better and you might not have been at all

Chorus
Where you come from
Where you come from
Changing names doesn't change the blood
Where you come from

V3
Had my first at 8:30
11 or 12 lost track of counting
things ain't any easier since you last saw me
on the wagon I was steering
went over the edge straight into the sea
I saw the shore
repeated my behavior
of every time that I've seen land
I've swam towards the sharks

Chorus
