[Verse]
 
Dm
His father was a gambler, Alcoholic
Dm
Drunk bastard, whatever you want to call it
               Bb
Don't like the way he treating mumma cheating in the lights
A                                  Dm
Find himself becoming the same guy he despised, Good ole boy, an old road 
runner
              Dm
Pistol on his waste, he's ready to throw thunder
Bb
Told him living like that he won't last that long
Dm                 A
Living an outlaw's songs and trying to prove 'em all wrong
Dm
From the poverty line but taking pride in his hood
Dm
Fell in love with a rich girl from Brentwood
Bb
They had a son, he made a promise to change
              Am                                      Dm
He wrote that promise in chalk and it was lost in the heavy rain
 
[Chorus]
 
                      C
Heavy rains that fall upon me
     Gm               Dm
As I make my last request
       Dm                  C
Things my daddy did before me
              Gm            Dm
They're still ringing in my head
     Bb

[Verse]
 
Dm
He lost his job and his wife in the same week
Dm
Whiskey breath claimed defeat when the pain speaks
Bb
Phone rings, suicide by gun
          A
He'd been fighting demons and the Devil had won
Dm
Survived by mud filled and a couple of sons
      Dm
Blood filled bullet holes where the picture hung
Bb
Too much to bare, mumma cries that it ain't fair
A
Questions linger in the air, Answers just ain't there
Dm
On her knees as she pleas "Lord, why?"
Dm
The boy steps up with a look in his eye
Bb
As the chapter ends, another saga starts
Am
I became a man with the last beat of my father's heart
 
[Chorus]
 
Dm                    C
Heavy rains that fall upon me
     Gm               Dm
As I make my last request
          Dm               C
Things my daddy did before me
              Gm            Dm
They're still ringing in my head

[Verse]
 
Dm
Rabble-rouser, playing with Peter's gun
Dm
Might've hit a home run if I was Jeter's son
Bb
But I feel more like Dale Earnhardt Jr
A
And doing the same thing my daddy died doing
Dm
Trying prove a proud legacy
   Dm
To maintain staring down at that grave site baring the same name
Bb
Chasing footsteps to the same storm that swallowed him
A
Mumma home hollering, I shut the door and followed him
Dm
Wanted to fill his boots but I got bigger feet
Dm
He never made it past thirty guess I got him beat
Bb
Learning how to be a man through the stories
          A
Round the campfire, They bought me a can full of gas and it backfired
Dm
Great man did wrong for the right reasons
Dm
I still hear his voice, Feed them by any means, son
Bb
Family first, don't forget where you come from
Am
Life's a knife fight, bring guns for the"
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Dm                    C
Heavy rains that fall upon me
     Gm               Dm
As I make my last request
          Dm        C
Things my daddy did before me
              Gm            Dm
They're still ringing in my head
