I grew up poor,
played baseball without a glove,
I built my house
with Father with wood cut just a suggestion, 'with father from wood cut out of the oak'
from the oak next door.

Our backyard was a jungle
of essentials, apples to aloe
Mama could cook is mama cooking apples into an aloe? Wait, a jungle of essentials is a mismatch garden
long as the fruit hung low. Interpret how I want, tenacious d wrote a song called low hanging fruit...

I grew up quick,
found work at a toy store,
fell in love even quicker,
six months and I quit. I kinda like all these up and downs in this stanza, growing up to work in a toy store for kids, quit the toy store or quit the love? Six months makes me think nine/ten months that to have a baby

Military bound after wedding vows,
I learned I'm a genius
that couldn't raise kids.twisted, joining the military to escape parenthood

Car crash halfed my sight,in the military?
haunted by a lost son,
wife couldn't cope- antidepressants
leave her alone.

Military don't care about you,
I learned on a transfer
to a job I couldn't do.

Thirteen years half blind
struggling to find the way,
this house I built without Father
did nothing but deteriorate.cause when you were young you built your house with your father, this is a good stanza with the double meaning of blind

Today I left my wife
my kids, my life, it seems like today is everyday, military bound after wedding vows, haunted by a son...
to try to see
what's behind the blind eye. How about today I leave my wife

Cool stuff very personable voice, good character narrator
