I'm not sure if there's a[00:00:09]
Point to this story[00:00:11]
But im going to[00:00:12]
Tell it again[00:00:13]
So many other people[00:00:17]
Trying to tell the tale[00:00:18]
But not one of em[00:00:19]
Knows the end[00:00:21]
It was a junk house[00:00:35]
In South Carolina[00:00:36]
Held a boy the age of ten[00:00:38]
Along with his older[00:00:43]
Brother billy his mother[00:00:44]
And her boyfriend[00:00:46]
Who was a triple loser[00:00:48]
With blue tattoos[00:00:49]
That were given to him[00:00:51]
When he was young[00:00:52]
And a drunk temper that[00:00:54]
Was easy to lose[00:00:55]
Thank god he didn't[00:00:57]
Own a gun[00:00:58]
Billy woke up[00:01:06]
In the back of his truck[00:01:07]
Took a minute to[00:01:08]
Open his eyes[00:01:09]
He took a peep into[00:01:13]
The back of the house[00:01:14]
And found himself[00:01:15]
A big surprise[00:01:16]
He didnt see his brother[00:01:19]
But there was his mother[00:01:20]
With a red-headed[00:01:21]
Head in her hands[00:01:22]
While the boyfriend had his[00:01:24]
Gloves wrapped around[00:01:26]
An old grease[00:01:27]
Trying to choke a man[00:01:28]
Billy looked up from[00:02:12]
The window to the truck[00:02:12]
Threw up and had to[00:02:14]
Struggle to stand[00:02:15]
He saw that redneck[00:02:19]
Bastard with a hammer[00:02:20]
That priest was[00:02:21]
A shell of a man[00:02:22]
That priest was putting up[00:02:25]
The fight of his life[00:02:26]
But he was old and[00:02:27]
He was bound to lose[00:02:28]
The boyfriend hit[00:02:30]
As hard as he could[00:02:32]
And knocked the priest[00:02:33]
Right down to his shoes[00:02:34]
Well now Billy never[00:02:41]
Actually met[00:02:42]
The preacher lying[00:02:44]
There in the room[00:02:45]
He heard himself say that[00:02:49]
Must be my daddy[00:02:50]
Then he knew what[00:02:51]
He was gonna do[00:02:52]
Billy got up e[00:02:55]
Nough courage to give[00:02:56]
And grabbed the first[00:02:57]
Blunt thing he could find[00:02:58]
It was a cold glass[00:03:01]
Bottle of milk[00:03:02]
That was delivered[00:03:03]
Every morning at nine[00:03:03]
Billy broke in and[00:03:47]
Saw the blood on the floor[00:03:48]
And he turned around[00:03:49]
And put the lock on the door[00:03:50]
He looked straight[00:03:52]
Into the boyfriend eye[00:03:53]
His mother was a ghost[00:03:55]
Too upset to cry[00:03:56]
He took a step to[00:03:58]
The man on the ground[00:03:59]
But his mom trickled out[00:04:01]
An inaudible sound[00:04:02]
He heard the boyfriend[00:04:04]
Shout Get out [00:04:05]
And Billy said not til[00:04:06]
I know what[00:04:07]
This is all about[00:04:08]
Well this preacher here was[00:04:09]
Attackin your momma[00:04:11]
But he just knew that[00:04:12]
He was caught in the drama[00:04:14]
So billy aim right[00:04:15]
At his face[00:04:17]
Smashed the bottle of the man[00:04:18]
Who left his dad in disgrace[00:04:19]
The white milk dripped down[00:04:21]
With the blood[00:04:23]
And the boyfriend fell dead[00:04:24]
For good[00:04:25]
Right next to the preacher[00:04:26]
Who was gaspin' for air[00:04:28]
Billy shouted why daddy did[00:04:29]
You come back here [00:04:30]
Momma reached behind[00:04:33]
The sugar and honey[00:04:34]
Pulled out an envelope[00:04:35]
Filled with money[00:04:36]
Your daddy gave us this[00:04:38]
She collapsed in tears[00:04:39]
He's being paying[00:04:41]
The bills for years[00:04:42]
Momma lets but this body[00:04:44]
Under the trees[00:04:45]
