Song included.

This song was written for Marshall Foust

Love Mom

Verse 1

She was just an old rust bucket

sittin’ in the field.

Hadn’t moved in quite awhile.

She saw that young man and the way he smiled,

Like he’d known her all his life.

He brushed off the dust, said,

“Girl don’t you cry,

I see something in you still.”

She reminded him of a better time,

” Come with me Patches, if you will?”

Chorus

Patches roll on down that line,

Take me back to a sweeter time.

You’ll be my song, my one true friend,

Patch’s I’ll ride with you ’til the end.

Verse 2

He had to leave that small town life,

The only home he’d ever known.

But he had her ‘sittin in the drive,

So he never walked alone.

The road was long, the nights got cold,

But she always got him through.

Every dent and every scratch,

Was a piece of me and you.

Chorus

Patches your more than steel and rust.

You carried my heart, you earned my trust.

Through the miles and the tears,

you’ve been my guide,

Patches old girl, your the reason I survived.

Bridge

When the daylight fades and the world feels wrong,

I still hear your engine hum that song.

Ain’t about the miles, it’s what we’ve seen,

You and me chasin’ broken dreams.

Final Chorus

Patches roll on down that line,

Take me back to a sweeter time.

You’ve been my home, my one true friend,

Patches I’ll ride with you ’till the end.
