Bloodline Lyrics
She was a girl living in the city
Clinging to old religion
Praying for electricity
To keep it warm for the little ones
Nobody made her wise
To the things a girl might find in a belly of a hungry man
Who don't care nothing about his
Bloodline she got lost in the bloodline
Heavy cost of a bloodline
She goes on she cries at night and keeps alive his bloodline
So much riding on the bloodline
Why's he hiding from the bloodline
It ain't right she cries at night and keeps alive his bloodline
She heard heaven is invite only
Reserved for Christian soldiers
Not unwed girls living in the city
Asking for change from strangers
But father said Jesus loves her
Even though she never married
God loves her more than the Christians do
She's part of his holy bloodline
She got saved in the bloodline
The price he paid for the bloodline
Changed her life she cries at night and keeps alive his bloodline
She believes in the bloodline
Lives and breathes by the bloodline
With all her mind she cries at night and keeps alive his bloodline
I know I should have never left her
To shoulder all the burden
She probably won't forgive me
God might not either
I made a cross
And lay it on her back
But I never broke her spirit
And she owes that to her bloodline
She stays strong for the bloodline
I did wrong by the bloodline
She went on she cried at night and kept alive the bloodline
Sacrificed for the bloodline
Paid the price for the bloodline
For all her life she cried at night and kept alive the bloodline
She cried at night and kept alive the bloodline
She cried at night, cried at night
Clinging to old religion
Praying for electricity
To keep it warm for the little ones
Nobody made her wise
To the things a girl might find in a belly of a hungry man
Who don't care nothing about his
Heavy cost of a bloodline
She goes on she cries at night and keeps alive his bloodline
So much riding on the bloodline
Why's he hiding from the bloodline
It ain't right she cries at night and keeps alive his bloodline
Reserved for Christian soldiers
Not unwed girls living in the city
Asking for change from strangers
But father said Jesus loves her
Even though she never married
God loves her more than the Christians do
She got saved in the bloodline
The price he paid for the bloodline
Changed her life she cries at night and keeps alive his bloodline
She believes in the bloodline
Lives and breathes by the bloodline
With all her mind she cries at night and keeps alive his bloodline
To shoulder all the burden
She probably won't forgive me
God might not either
I made a cross
And lay it on her back
But I never broke her spirit
And she owes that to her bloodline
I did wrong by the bloodline
She went on she cried at night and kept alive the bloodline
Sacrificed for the bloodline
Paid the price for the bloodline
For all her life she cried at night and kept alive the bloodline
She cried at night and kept alive the bloodline

I'm surprised nobody has commented on this song yet. The song tells the story of a woman and her children that were abandoned by a man. One of the lines that gets to me every time is when he says "God loves her more than the Christians do" and how much that rings true in the world we live in. Matt, with this song and his others, proves he is a great songwriter and storyteller by creating the imagery and that strong connection between what is in the song and the listener.
Wow! Beautiful song! Weird, indeed, that no-one has commented yet.. Matt brings it with so much feeling! Love the way his voice goes up in the chorus! And I agree with you, yepenam, about the meaning. Beautiful, but sad song!
Such a beautiful song. Still don't entirely understand the whole song, but it is truly amazing.
