“This song is about living with adversity. I sing about family drama that we all experience and grapple with,” says Sam. “One thing that will never serve you well is lying to someone you love. That can only lead to turmoil. ‘Can’t Fool Your Own Blood’ is about being a pattern breaker and taking control of your own fate. Being at war with oneself is the greatest battle.”
Lyrics:
I think that momma’s drinkin’ again
There's a sparkle in her eye
And how I love to see her laughing
Oh do I
God knows I’ve prayed for that smile
She got a suite at the new hotel downtown
That ain't something she does
And tried me call me out of the blue and act like
That was someone she was
But you can’t fool your own blood
You can lie to a liar
Go ahead and flame the fire
Burn down everything you love
You can steal from a thief
I’ll act like I believe
But you can’t fool your own blood
And I know roads that I don’t walk down
I don’t walk down
Not no more
They take me places I don’t wanna go
Don't wanna go again
But now and then I take a wrong turn
And then the lost highway claims me its own
I’ve got a voice in my head tells me it's fine no matter what it does
Got a broken compass in my pocket it's telling me where it is I come from
But you can’t fool your own blood
And you can lie to a liar
Go ahead and flame the fire
And Burn down everything you love
You can steal from a thief
I’ll act like I believe
But you can’t fool your own blood
Ohhh, ooohh
Momma, you can lie to a liar
Go ahead and flame the fire
And burn down all it is you love
You can steal from a thief
I’ll act like I believe
But you can’t fool your own blood
No, no you can’t fool
No, you can’t fool
You can’t fool your own blood
