Notes About The Poem

Tribute lyric and poem to country music, lots of lifted feelings, words and phrases from that era and tradition of the greats like the Carters, Cash, Acuff, Parton, Haggard, Jones, Nelson, Kristofferson and other "Opry" stars. A typical sad tale of a father asking for forgiveness from a son for killing his mother.

What I Done

Won't you forget what I done
Please forgive me won't you son
Should never've touched that gun
Mom's love truly was my only one
Didn't mean the killin' I done
Never tell 'em I'm the one
Should never've touched that gun
Forgive me please won't you son

The circle surely is now broken
For all feelings long unspoken
I deeply hurt you when I ran
Please don't hate me 'cause you can
Your heart is open and always been
Some lettin' out and lettin' in
But before the next teardrop falls
Take them pictures off the walls
Remember me when long time gone
All you've got is this sad song
