About In My Blood

"In My Blood" is the third single from American hard rock band Black Stone Cherry's third studio album Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. It was released to digital media outlets in October 2011. "That was one of those spur-of-the-moment songs," recalled singer Chris Robertson. "We wrote that entire song on acoustic guitars in fifteen minutes; two days before we started recording Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. It's an honest representation of the feelings we have when we're on the road. Rock 'n' roll is in my blood. I pretty much sucked at everything else, so it's good that music worked out for me."

Right here right now were falling apart
While were falling down who knew
To hurt would feel this good
Move along so far from home
My mistakes go on and on in truth
I hate to be alone

It's in my blood and its in my bones
In my heart and its in my soul and
When I'm gone I hope you'll understand
When I get home I will make amends
When Tuesday comes I'll be gone again
And when I'm gone I hope you'll understand
I hope you'll understand

It's in my blood I miss your touch
And I miss your smile everything
You do it drives me wild but
You know it’s the way it has to be
Another day and another round
I miss the friends in my hometown
But in truth it's the reason that I leave

It's in my blood
And it's in my bones its in my heart
And soul and when I'm gone
I hope you'll understand
When I get home I will make amends
When Tuesday comes I'll be gone again
And when I'm gone I hope you'll understand
I hope you'll understand

Would you love me the same
If I never started dreaming
Are we better this way
Ever since I started leaving

It's in my blood
And it's in my bones
In my heart and it's in my soul
And when I'm gone I hope you'll understand
When I get home I will make amends
When Tuesday comes I'll be gone again
And when I'm gone I hope you'll understand
I hope you'll understand
It's in my blood
It's in my bones
