[Verse 1]
I thought the world had something special I was missing
My daddy told me not to chase it, didn’t listen
I fell downhill a mile a minute
Before I knew it, I was living
In a pig sty a long, long way from home

[Chorus]
I went running like a rebel
Racked up debts I couldn’t pay
I went dancing with the devil
With one foot in the grave

How the Heaven did I get here?
Went and threw it all away
All I’ve given You was trouble
All You’ve given me was grace

[Verse 2]
And the freedom I was chasing felt like prison
Lord, I’ve done so many things, wish I didn’t
And after all the risky business
Could I ever be forgiven?
I’m afraid to even ask to come back home

[Chorus]
‘Cause I went running like a rebel
Racked up debts I couldn’t pay
I went dancing with the devil
With one foot in the grave
How the Heaven did I get here?
Went and threw it all away
All I’ve given You was trouble
All You’ve given me is grace
Mmmm
Given me is grace
Mmmm

[Verse 3]
When I sobered up and came back to my senses
I was too far gone to make up all the distance
I gambled all that I’d been given
I was broke, alone and wishing
That I could turn around and go back home
When I heard the sound of footsteps down the road

[Chorus]
You came running like a rebel
Paid off debts I couldn’t pay
You went dancing with the devil
Sent that liar to his grave
How the Heaven did I get here?
Where every sin has been erased
All I’ve given You was trouble
All You’ve given me is grace
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm

[Outro]
There was something in the marrow
Always coursing through my veins
But buried deeper than the rubble
Is my Daddy’s DNA
