"something 'Bout Me"

My daddy was born in Arkansas. Momma wore a tight fitt-in bikini bra. Daddy worked real hard he had us to feed. We never had alot but had what we need. I wish there was somethin I could say bout me. But a squirrel don't fall far from the tree. I got a little brother and his names Eugene. When he drinks whiskey he gets real mean. My sister she is as hard as nails. They say she knows how to give-em hell. I wish there was somethin I could say bout me. But a squirrel don't fall far from the tree. Our daddy taught us to work;nothin came free. Momma was in the kitchen fixin ice tea. We were poor but we knew how to have a good time. Playing poker and drinking homemade wine. I wish there was somethin I could say bout me. But a squirrel don't fall far from the tree. Wrote by Buddy&Teresa Skyles 7/27/08 This song was wrote for Buddy my 1st.born but with Michelle&Eugene in mind.

Nicely rhymed. They say that an apple don't fall far from the tree if it is rotten but a green apple that is firm now that is a different story. Like the topic and the ideas here. Keep writing. Sara
