Heat you something up on the stove
Trevor Haeden Hughes 1999 (Jacksonville, Arkansas)
My life has always been Hectic, I am the oldest
Like when both my mother and my dad left, without notice
I felt alone I felt unloved
But that's a pleasure
Not for I to be able to feel bad
I had to be strong and to be the best thing my siblings could have
My daddy left me crying in the yard
Don't leave daddy I pulled his leg real hard
Go back to you mama daddy's gonna go
I'm sorry boy I love you
So please
My son
Go home
My momma she left us all stranded
With her parents to take care of their grand kids
She wound up going to prison
Wrote us letters to say that she love and she missed
us all her beautiful children
Also said on the phone she would be different,
I'm sorry
Baby
I'll be home soon.
When you old and you can't form a sentence
And you bones hurt when it's cold
I'll cover you up and heat you something up on the stove
Daddy, daddy, I know why you had to go.
Daddy, daddy, I forgive you and I want you to know.
That I love you
And I harbor no hate
Momma, momma,
please don't hate your self
Momma, momma,
we forgive you so
please for give your self
And please know
that I love you
And I harbor no hate, wish you would harbor not shame.
When you old and you can't form a sentence
And you bones hurt when it's cold
I'll cover you up and heat you something up on the stove
Daddy, daddy?
Don't you know who I am?
I am the sin
no I am the man
I am the child
with life that you gave
Please don't say you have forgotten
all of our precious days
Daddy?
do you know my name?
Momma? Momma?
Don't you know you are my mom?
I was your first born,
Your very first son
Please please mother of mine
don't say that you
have forgotten about i?
No.
That's not.
a tear.
in my eye.
When you old and you can't form a sentence
And you bones hurt when it's cold
I'll cover you up and heat you something up on the stove
