I was born in the middle of a storm
About a mile from the Naches Trace
My momma died and my sister cried
There was fourteen children to raise
We was living in a shack by the railroad track
The winter was a-freezing cold
But I was wearing boots, I could fight and shoot
Before I was ten years old
My brother was down in Jackson town
Doin' life without parole
Bad blood
My daddy had a still at the top of the hill
Till the deputy sheriff came by
Daddy met him at the door with a .44
And he shot him right between the eyes
Sent him to his maker in a shallow grave
Dug it in the pouring rain
And Daddy said, "Son, I'm gonna have to run
I'm leaving on the midnight train
But before I go, I want you to know
What's flowing in your veins
Is bad blood"
He said, "It's time you knew what's a-coming to you
Like my daddy passed it on to me
There ain't no escape, it's like a copperhead snake
Crawling up the family tree
And all the while, the devil smiles
Feasting on the rising flood
Of bad blood"
Well, I left home when I was barely grown
And forgot about the family curse
I met Rosalie down in New Orleans
And I married her for better or worse
Then late one night she got me in a fight
Flirting with another man
And my blood ran quick and it made me sick
When he died there in my hands
And deep inside I felt a crimson tide
Burn me like a brand
Bad blood
And I could hear my daddy's voice still ringing in my ear
He said, "It's time you knew what's a-coming to you
Like my daddy passed it on to me
There ain't no escape, it's like a copperhead snake
Crawling up the family tree
And all the while, the devil smiles
Feasting on the rising flood
Of bad blood"
I got bad blood flowing in my veins
And there ain't no escape, it's like a copperhead snake
Bad blood
Sent him to his maker in a shallow grave
Dug it in the pouring rain
Bad blood
The devil smiles all the while
As he's feasting on the rising flood
Of bad blood
Bad blood
About a mile from the Naches Trace
My momma died and my sister cried
There was fourteen children to raise
We was living in a shack by the railroad track
The winter was a-freezing cold
But I was wearing boots, I could fight and shoot
Before I was ten years old
My brother was down in Jackson town
Doin' life without parole
Bad blood

And he shot him right between the eyes

But before I go, I want you to know

As he's feasting on the rising flood
Of bad blood
