He was born poor and nearly lost everything.

His dad died when Merle was 9, leaving nothing but debt and silence.
He stole food, hopped boxcars, ran.
Arrested again and again, no mercy.
On his 21st birthday — San Quentin.
Prison bars, steel beds, cold reality.
He watched Johnny Cash perform there, realized music might be his redemption.
After parole, he changed forever.
Wrote songs for working men forgotten.
“Mama Tried” wasn’t just a lyric.
It was his life — no polish.
How many people rise from cages?
