Runs In The Family
It Runs in the Family — RDub559
“It runs in the family till it runs into me.”
A gritty country-soul and blues song about the hurt alcohol can pass from one generation to the next—and a father determined to stop it.
Through honest storytelling, “It Runs in the Family” follows a son who grows up fearing his father’s drinking, only to recognize the same behavior in himself. Seeing his own children retreat from him becomes the moment he chooses to ask for help.
With Hammond organ, slow electric guitar, and gospel harmonies, this song speaks to accountability, recovery, and the patient work of rebuilding trust.
Somebody’s gotta stop what the children see.
