I'm not sure if there's a

point to this story

but im going to

tell it again

So many other people

trying to tell the tale

but not one of em

knows the end

It was a junk house

in South Carolina

Held a boy the age of ten

Along with his older

brother billy his mother

and her boyfriend

Who was a triple loser

with blue tattoos

That were given to him

when he was young

And a drunk temper that

was easy to lose

Thank god he didn't

own a gun

Billy woke up

in the back of his truck

Took a minute to

open his eyes

He took a peep into

the back of the house

And found himself

a big surprise

He didnt see his brother

but there was his mother

With a red-headed

head in her hands

While the boyfriend had his

gloves wrapped around

an old grease

Trying to choke a man

Billy looked up from

the window to the truck

Threw up and had to

struggle to stand

He saw that redneck

bastard with a hammer

That priest was

a shell of a man

That priest was putting up

the fight of his life

But he was old and

he was bound to lose

The boyfriend hit

as hard as he could

And knocked the priest

right down to his shoes

Well now Billy never

actually met

The preacher lying

there in the room

he heard himself say that

must be my daddy

Then he knew what

he was gonna do

Billy got up e

nough courage to give

and grabbed the first

blunt thing he could find

It was a cold glass

bottle of milk

That was delivered

every morning at nine

Billy broke in and

saw the blood on the floor

and he turned around

and put the lock on the door

He looked straight

into the boyfriend eye

His mother was a ghost

too upset to cry

He took a step to

the man on the ground

But his mom trickled out

an inaudible sound

He heard the boyfriend

shout Get out!

And Billy said not til

I know what

this is all about

Well this preacher here was

attackin your momma

But he just knew that

he was caught in the drama

So billy aim right

at his face

Smashed the bottle of the man

who left his dad in disgrace

The white milk dripped down

with the blood

and the boyfriend fell dead

for good

Right next to the preacher

who was gaspin' for air

Billy shouted why daddy did

you come back here?!

Momma reached behind

the sugar and honey

Pulled out an envelope

filled with money

Your daddy gave us this

she collapsed in tears

He's being paying

the bills for years

Momma lets but this body

under the trees

Putt daddy in the truck and

head for Tennessee

Just then his little

brother came in

with a little milkman's hat

and a bottle of gin

singin lalala lalala yeah

lalala lalala yeah

lalala lalala (3x)

Well now heard another

side of the story

But you wanna know

how it ends

If you must know

the truth of

the tale go and

ask the milkman
