[Verse 1] You came in late With your own two shoes I picked my people I picked my blues Your sister laughs At the same old joke Your uncle talks Like a warning smoke [Pre-Chorus] I can walk away From the wrong kind of door I can turn my face To the ones I adore [Chorus] You can choose your friends But you can’t choose your family You can choose your friends But blood stays in the family Tie by tie Line by line Some things hold on Through your whole life line [Verse 2] Sunday plates and A dented table edge A name I carry Like a painted pledge We fight all night Then we share the bread Same old fire In the words we said [Pre-Chorus] I can lose a crowd And still know my name I can leave the room But the roots remain [Chorus] You can choose your friends But you can’t choose your family You can choose your friends But blood stays in the family Tie by tie Line by line Some things hold on Through your whole life [Bridge] Maybe love is A rough, hard thread That pulls me close When I’m pulled ahead Some are wild Some are kind Some are scars You learn to wear [Final Chorus] You can choose your friends But you can’t choose your family You can choose your friends But blood stays in the family Tie by tie Line by line Some things hold on Through your whole life Some things hold on Through your whole life
