Lyrics

In My Bones

Yeah my mumma taught me how to talk
My mumma taught me how to walk
Mumma taught me everything I know

And I never met my grandma
And I never met my grandpa
But mumma made sure that I did know

It’s in my bones
It’s in my bones
Don’t ya know it’s right there in my bones
It’s in my bones, in my bones
Right down from my head into my toes

And my daddy told me stories
Filled with all my families glories
Filled with truth and lies
That often go untold

Four boys down in Manhattan
Well their lives weren’t always satin
But Shirley made sure that road
It did not go

It’s in my bones
It’s in my bones
Don’t ya know it’s right there in my bones
It’s in my bones, in my bones
Right down from my head into my toes

Compost and cleaning garbage
Where the things that went the farthest
For grandpa, cause from poverty he came

Oh the slurry wall left standing
And that Summit Circle landing
Where six kids were raised by
Dear Lorraine

It’s in my bones
It’s in my bones
Don’t ya know it’s right there in my bones
It’s in my bones, in my bones
Right down from my head into my toes

And as the story as it goes
No one knows the highs or lows
Taking all their secrets to the grave

Well I challenge you to take a chance
Life is much better with a little glance
Find out from where and which you came

It’s in my bones
It’s in my bones
Don’t ya know it’s right there in my bones
It’s in my bones, in my bones
Right down from my head into my toes
