“ the end’s gonna come, now, soon enough. it don’t matter who you are. ”
“ don’t think no less of your humble possessions when you see all the money they owe. ”
“ all the gold they got ain’t gonna change a thing and it ain’t gonna save their souls. ”

“ the more you take the more you need, the less you get anymore. ”

“ them hard times keep comin’ at the worst times, and it’s hard enough just to keep my head afloat. ”
“ i pray to God that i make it through December. ”

(* father’s day.
“ i guess i let it all go out of fear and shame. ”
“ i never stopped loving you, son, and i pray you feel the same. ”
“ i broke down and cried the night your momma up and took you away. ”
“ there’s nothing i could do, nothing i could change, nothing i could say. ”
“ i cried, woe is my soul today. ”
“ watching you drive away was nothing but pain.”
“ i remember laying on your bed trying not to think, and crying just the same.”
“ i called out to God and asked him why it had to end up this way.”
