As recorded by Dierks Bentley (From the 2025 Album BROKEN BRANCHES) [Intro] D G Bm7 G [Verse 1]
       D
For as long as I can remember

G                        Bm7
The sun wasn't up before Dad

Bm7
He's always taken coffee black

G
And Monday mornin' strong
[Verse 2]
       D
For as long as I can remember

        G
There's been a bottle up on the fridge

Bm7
Kitchen table's where his Bible sits

G                 A
Where they both belong
[Chorus]
D                       G            D
Some things will always be a certain way

                                    A
Just like him, I wanna be the kinda man the wind can't change

     D                              G                       Bm7
I'll be my father's son till I wake up on the other side of forever

     G                               D                     G  Bm7  G
It's all I ever wanted to be, for as long as I can remember
[Verse 3]
       D
For as long as I can remember

G                      Bm7
It's been me and my brother

Bm7
You got one, you got the other

G
And that was that
[Verse 4]
    D
And just like any other brothers

G                        Bm7
We had our fair share of fights

Bm7
But even when we don't see eye to eye

   G                A
We got each other's backs
[Chorus]
D                       G            D
Some things will always be a certain way

                                    A
Just like him, I wanna be the kinda man the wind can't change

     D                               G                              Bm7
I'll be my father's son, and when he needs me, I'll be my brother's keeper

       G                             D                     G
'Cause he's been that for me, for as long as I can remember
[Bridge]
Bm                               A
Sometimes I cuss like him, and I catch myself standin' like him

         G          D     Em
And when I get mad, I get quiet like him

        G                    A         D
Like my brother, my dad, and his dad before him
[Guitar Solo] G Bm G A [Chorus]
D                       G
Some things will always be a certain way

D                                   A
Just like him, I wanna be the kinda man the wind can't change

     D                                    G                       Bm
From now till Kingdom come, when we catch up on the other side of forever

       G
That's how it's always gonna be, that's how I'm always gonna be

       D                     G
For as long as I can remember
[Outro]
 A Bm  G
Ooh-ooh

       D                  G
For as long as I can remember

 A Bm  G A   D
Ooh-ooh
