Dave Patton House
The Dave Patton House is a historic house in Mobile, Alabama, United States. The two-story structure was built for Dave Patton, a local African American entrepreneur. He purchased this property in 1900 and completed the Mediterranean Revival style house, designed by local architect George Bigelow Rogers, in 1915.
Dave Patton was born in 1879 and began his career using two mules to haul merchandise for local merchants. He gradually built up his own business, becoming a prominent real estate entrepreneur and contractor. He is known to have built many of the area's roads and schools. Patton died in 1927. The property eventually passed into the ownership of the Stewart Memorial C.M.E. Church and today serves as the parsonage for that church. The house is included on the African American Heritage Trail of Mobile and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 12, 1987.

Born Steady
by: Dave HouseI've been to this place before
In a previous life, some other point in time
I've sat here in this chair
It's molded to my body just like I was already there
You can't tell me what I already know
You can't make me laugh 'cause I already get the joke
You can't make me cry 'cause I'm over it already
You can't put me off 'cause I was born steady
I've seen your face before
Maybe it was in a dream; nothing's as it seems
And you were all alone
Staring at the tiles, reflecting your friends' smiles back
Like daggers to your eyes, will you ever work this out
Do you have love for the people to whom you scream and shout
Will you ever be happy in this time you're living in
Can you bring yourself to join in when I sing
You can't tell me what I already know
You can't make me laugh 'cause I already get the joke
You can't make me cry 'cause I'm over it already
You can't put me off 'cause I was born steady
I was born steady
You can't tell me what I already know
You can't make me laugh 'cause I already get the joke
You can't make me cry 'cause I'm over it already
You can't put me off 'cause I was born -
You can't tell me what I already know
You can't make me laugh 'cause I already get the joke
You can't make me cry 'cause I'm over it already
You can't put me off 'cause I was born steady
I was born steady
I was born steady
I was born steady
