We might mention "Patches" (not the Clarence Carter song, the Dickey Lee song),

One of my least favorite songs of all time because the protagonist is a credulous poltroon. But a year later, an antidote to that song came out featuring a protagonist who was courageous, focused and motivated.

Yet we have all heard what a family influence will do to a person. I cannot fault the boy in his case and the last line says it all.

Patches oh what can I do?
I swear I will always love you.
It my not be right, but I'll join you tonight,
Patches I'm coming to you.
