5. Yeah! That's what I told him! |

Thanks for the flashback. Trapped in my dad's truck, listening to country music.
You know what else? You've got to kiss an angel good morning. And let her know you think about her when you're gone. Kiss an angel good morning, and love her like the devil when you get back home.

6. From an alternate perspective... |

The lyrics to "Boy Named Sue" were written by Shel Silverstein. He's written that song from the perspective of the father as well:
THE FATHER OF THE BOY NAMED SUE
”Okay… now years ago, I wrote a song named “A Boy Named Sue”, and that was okay and everything, except then I started to think about it, and I thought, “It is unfair. I am looking at the whole thing from the poor kid’s point of view. And as I get more older and more fatherly, I begin to look at things from an old man’s point of view. So… I decided to give the old man equal time. Okay. Here we go.”
Yeah, I lef’ home when the kid was three. It sure felt good to be fancy free Tho I knew it wasn’t quite the fatherly thing to do. But that kid kept screamin’ and throwin’ up And pissin’ in his pants til I had enough So just for revenge I went and named him Sue.
It was Gatlinberg in mid July I was gettin' drunk but gettin' by Gettin' old and going from bad to worse When thru the door with an awful scream Comes the ugliest queen I’ve ever seen He says my name is Sue. How do you do? Then he hits me with his purse.
Now this ain’t the way he tells the tale But he scratched my face with his fingernails And then he bit my thumb and kicked me with his high-heeled shoe. So I hit him in the nose, and he started to cry And he threw some perfume in my eye And it sure ain’t easy fightin with a boy named Sue.
So I hit him in the head with a caned-back chair And he screamed, “Hey Dad, you mussed my hair!” And he hit me in the navel and knocked out a piece of my lint. He was spittin' blood. I was spittin teeth. And we crashed through the wall and out into the street A-kickin and gougin' in the mud and the blood and the crème de menth.
Then out of his garter he pulls a gun. I’m about to get shot by my very own son. He’s screamin' about Sigmond Freud and lookin' grim. So I thought fast and I told him some stuff How I named him Sue just to make him tough. And I guess he bought it, cuz now I’m livin' with him. Yeah, he cooks and sews and cleans up the place. He cuts my hair and shaves my face. And irons my shirts better than a daughter could do. And on the nights that I can’t score, Well, I can’t tell you anymore. Sure is a joy to have a boy named Sue. Yeah, a son is fun, But it’s a joy to have a boy named Sue.
