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 编辑于2008/03/22更新
