TXT Robert Cole-Brent Best 文本歌词

hey little man she said

open your eyes lift your sleepy head

you know tomorrow's your big day

here are your clothes she said

so I put them on and made the bed

and I went outside to play

when a sun so huge it shined

and it baked the blacktop underneath my toes

playing hopscotch on the lines

till she howled my name

and a shriek it came

with a swell of shame of sadness

I just froze

with a pain I simply can't define

yeah and she said

I am your mother

I told your sister and baby brother

your dog Champ and your best friend

that your name is Robert Cole

and tomorrow you are nine years old

but you, you will not walk this road again

now your son's heart is fair

so I took your words and I kept them there

but a young boy's mind is of a different gauge

my father's words returned to me

from some stormy evening with my mother on her knees

my life is mine he swore and raged

and he left her there upon the floor

I can hear him curse and slam the door

yeah and he found me squatting in the dirt

and he spoke to me of family

and sacrifices unforeseen

I'll the change the children worth the work

yeah and he said

please tell your mother

your oldest sister and baby brother

your dog Champ and your best friend

your name is Robert Cole

and tomorrow you are nine years old

but you, you will not walk this road again

I scanned the yard and house

secured no sign of mother's work-worn blouse

but for my heart the world was still

each foot a heavy load

the blacktop baked and burned under my toes

around the curve and below the hill

and this is the blacktop road

that I was not to walk till I was old

if Jeani saw me she would snitch

and these are the tire tracks

that will lead you down and round to where

there is a car off in the ditch

and I heard the fireman yell

this one is smashed and torn to hell

and he could not recognize the face

and I am my mother's son

but now it seems that I've gone off and become

the one to take my daddy's place

please tell my mother

my oldest sister and baby brother

my dog Champ and my best friend

my name is Robert Cole
