Love unbound by Butch r Baker
© 2009 40shades music and publishing
1957 in a burned out hut,
I was concentrated love unbound.
Conceived of parents who might have known better.
They were poor but happily sound.
My Daddy work for the government then taken inventory
Of the oil rigs and the companies they made.
He forged his way through big numbers and little woman and they were never quite equally paid.
His life was caught up in the rate race of foolish men
From the sixties he made a home
Took him ten short years from the birth of my soul to be
Gracing someone else’s place.
My Momma work like the women of the liberated age
just as Rosie had modeled her page.
She rolled up her sleeves and raised 4 boys
while keeping her emotions checked rage.
Sister swore she would keep an honest soul
While her brothers made off at the wake
She and Ollie got wild one night in spring
And threw all the liquor in the lake.
Love unbound whoa love unbound
Where is the love unbound?
Love unbound whoa love unbound
Where is the love unbound?
My brother went off to Nam in 69
He was a troubled boy, who came back a man
Yeah in 72 he chased a second shoe
and he landed In the never never land.
I loved the boy who went away to war
and I lived inside his Clothes
He pledge to no one and turn about in time
To swearing he was never one of those.
A young buck boy who was never really bound
By the mother who was constantly in pain
I lived a life of sedentary motion
Never Fool enough or wise enough to gain
Love unbound whoa love unbound
Where is the love unbound?
Love unbound whoa love unbound
Where is the love unbound?
