Far from the Tree

My granddad was a loser
Who loved cheap women and booze
But I know the way he felt
Because I love those things too

I'd trade seven days at home
For just one night in a bar
Where no one wants to save you
And you can be who you are

Chorus
I'm just another bad apple
Who didn't fall far from the tree
Baby this ain't no Garden of Eden
But you can take a bite out of me
I'm just another bad apple
Who didn't fall far from the tree

My uncle caught a strong wind
And he blew straight out of town
The highway called his name
It was such a pretty sound

He bought me my first bottle
And we drank every last drop
He said once you fall in love
Son it's mighty hard to stop

Bridge
Lead me into temptation
Deliver me to evil
For mine is a kingdom
Not of power and glory
But of women and whiskey

Chorus
I'm just another bad apple
Who didn't fall far from the tree
Baby this ain't no Garden of Eden
But you can take a bite out of me
I'm just another bad apple
Who didn't fall far from the tree
