Answer 2

From Merle's "California Cottonfields", about a family going to California to escape the Dust Bowl:



Nearly everything we had was sold or left behind

From my daddy's plow to the soup that momma canned

Some folks came to say farewell or see what all we had to sell

Some just came to shake my daddy's hand

That model A was loaded down and California bound

A change of luck was just 4 days away

But the only change that I remember seeing in my daddy

Was when his dark hair turned to silver grey

Answer 11

Please, please forgive me,

But I won't be home again.

Maybe someday you'll look up,

And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:

"Isn't something missing?"



You won't cry for my absence, I know -

You forgot me long ago.

Am I that unimportant...?

Am I so insignificant...?

Isn't something missing?

Isn't someone missing me?



[Chorus:]

Even though I'm the sacrifice,

You won't try for me, not now.

Though I'd die to know you love me,

I'm all alone.

Isn't someone missing me?



Please, please forgive me,

But I won't be home again.

I know what you do to yourself,

I breathe deep and cry out,

"Isn't something missing?

Isn't someone missing me?"



[Chorus]



And if I bleed, I'll bleed,

Knowing you don't care.

And if I sleep just to dream of you

I'll wake without you there,

Isn't something missing?

Isn't something...



[Chorus]
