| [00:00.858] | I was born and raised down in Alabama |
| [00:04.251] | On a farm way back up in the woods |
| [00:06.484] | I was so raggedy folks used call me Patches |
| [00:08.752] | Papa used to tease me out it |
| [00:11.328] | Deep down inside he was hurt |
| [00:12.447] | Abuse he done all he could |
| [00:15.155] | My papa was a great ol man |
| [00:18.228] | I can see him with a shovel in his hand |
| [00:21.017] | See education he never had |
| [00:24.090] | But he did wonders when the time got bad |
| [00:26.878] | The little money from the crops he raised |
| [00:29.678] | Barely paid the bills we made |
| [00:32.478] | Oh life it kicked him down to the ground |
| [00:35.559] | When he tried to get up life would kick him back down |
| [00:38.343] | One day papa called me to his dying bed |
| [00:41.146] | Put his hands on my shoulders and in tears he said |
| [00:42.262] | He said Patches |
| [00:45.050] | I depending on you son |
| [00:48.123] | To pull the family through |
| [00:53.724] | My son it all left up to you |
| [00:58.196] | |
| [01:00.146] | Two days later papa passed away |
| [01:02.661] | And I became a man that day |
| [01:05.453] | So I told mama I was gonna quit school |
| [01:08.808] | But she said that was daddy strictest rule |
| [01:11.605] | So every morning ore I went to school |
| [01:14.406] | I fed the chickens and I chopped wood too |
| [01:16.930] | Sometimes I felt that I couldn't go on |
| [01:20.004] | I wanted to leave just run away from home |
| [01:22.799] | But I would remember what my daddy said |
| [01:25.879] | With tears in his eyes on his dying bed |
| [01:27.281] | He said Patches |
| [01:30.072] | I depending on you son |
| [01:32.596] | I tried to do my best |
| [01:40.403] | It up to you to do the rest |
| [01:45.159] | Then one day a strong rain came |
| [01:47.394] | And washed all the crops away |
| [01:49.346] | And at the age of 13 |
| [01:52.697] | I thought I was carrying the weight of the whole world on my shoulders |
| [01:55.769] | Mama knew what I was going through |
| [01:59.400] | Because every day I had to work the fields |
| [02:02.200] | Abuse that the only way we got our meals |
| [02:04.998] | You see I was the oldest of the family |
| [02:08.326] | And everybody else depended on me |
| [02:11.114] | Every night I heard my mama pray |
| [02:13.903] | Lord give him strength to face another day |
| [02:16.689] | 4 years have passed and all the kids have grown |
| [02:22.572] | God knows people I she'd tears |
| [02:25.915] | But my daddy voice kept me through the years |
| [02:26.754] | Saying Patches |
| [02:29.550] | I depending on you son |
| [02:32.631] | To pull the family through |
| [02:39.074] | My son it all left up to you |
| [02:41.804] | He said Patches |
| [02:44.604] | I depending on you son |
| [02:47.688] | I tried to do my best |
| [02:50.527] | It up to you to do the rest |
