In The Back

I woke up in the back seat

I was snoring to the beat

I don’t remember sitting here

I just remember my fear


Taken by dad unwilling

After mom did the billing

Dad couldn’t pay child support

So he took me to his fort


It was out of my control

Country is better with my foal

Why do parents have to fight

Can’t they make up make it right?


My mom took my dad to court

Yay she won now no more fort

Dads in sales so gone a lot

Time wasn’t something I got


Divorce through; I lived with mom

For country life is the bomb

City life is where dad lives

Close quarters equals the sieve


Childhood was hard without dad

Minority so so sad

Divorce was rare thing back then

Mom taught me to say “I can”


Mom found love and some good friends

We got through all the dead ends

Ups and downs but without strife

With God I got through life
