[QUOTE="SPOONBILL, post: 3966148, member: 49645"] The old man was covered with tattoos and scars He got some in prison and others in bars The rest he got working on old junk cars In the daytime They looked like tombstones in our yard And I never seen him when he wasn't tired and mean He sold used parts to make ends meet Covered with grease from his head to his feet Cussing the sweat and the Oklahoma heat And mosquitos And the neighbors said we lived like hicks But they brung their cars for pa to fix anyhow He was veteran-proud, tried and true He'd fought 'till his heart was black and blue Didn't know how he'd made it through the hard times Mama she's old, far beyond her time From chopping tobacco and I've seen her cryin' When blood started flowin' from her calloused hand And it hurt me She'd just keep working, tryin' to help the old man To the end of one row and back again like always She's been through hell since Junior went to jail When the lights go out she ain't never failed To get down on her knees and pray Because she loves him [/QUOTE]
