These are 70's songs because in the 70's they wrote story songs more often.

Mr. BoJangles. Because his dog 'up and died'. Songs about hobos are sad.

The Blind Man in the Bleachers Song- son is on football team and never gets to play but wins the LAST GAME OF THE SEASON because his blind dad died that day and it's the first time his dad got to see him play.

Run Joey Run - dad shoots at daughter's boyfriend, but hits daughter instead

Shannon by Henry Gross. Another dead dog song.

Witchita lineman- my dad used to sing that to me.

80's was the decade for child abuse songs.
Luka by Suzanne Vega
Plus that White lion song....

Songs about kids getting hit make me cry.
