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

that Thank god he didn't own a gun



Well 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 priest

Trying to choke the man Ah...



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

turn the priest into a shell of a man

The 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 knew but 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 enough courage to get up

and grab the first blunt thing he could find

It was a cold glass bottle of milk

That was delivered every morning at nine. Ah...



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 towards the man on the ground

From his mouth 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 Billy knew that she was caught in the drama

So Billy took dead aim at his face

Smashed the bottle on the man that 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 daddy why'd you have come back here?!

His Mother reached behind the sugar and honey and

Pulled out an envelope filled with money

Your daddy gave us this she collapsed in tears

He's being paying all the bills for years

Momma lets but this body underneath the trees

Put daddy in the truck and head for Tennessee

Just then his little brother came in

holding the milkman's hat and a bottle of gin



singin lalala lalala yeah

lalala lalala yeah

lalala lalala.......



Well now heard another side to the story

But you wanna know how it ends

If you must know the truth about the tale go and ask the milkman
