I'm not sure if there's a |
| [00:10.75] |
point to this story |
| [00:11.80] |
but im going to tell it again |
| [00:17.19] |
So many other people |
| [00:18.56] |
trying to tell the tale |
| [00:19.73] |
but not one of em knows the end |
| [00:35.0] |
It was a junk house |
| [00:36.81] |
in South Carolina |
| [00:37.56] |
Held a boy the age of ten |
| [00:42.94] |
Along with his older |
| [00:44.75] |
brother billy his mother |
| [00:46.94] |
and her boyfriend |
| [00:48.31] |
Who was a triple loser |
| [00:49.42] |
with blue tattoos |
| [00:50.10] |
That were given to him |
| [00:52.11] |
when he was young |
| [00:54.18] |
And a drunk temper that |
| [00:55.43] |
was easy to lose |
| [00:56.28] |
Thank god he didn't |
| [00:57.97] |
own a gun |
| [01:05.78] |
Billy woke up |
| [01:06.47] |
in the back of his truck |
| [01:07.77] |
Took a minute to |
| [01:08.90] |
open his eyes |
| [01:13.14] |
He took a peep into |
| [01:14.22] |
the back of the house |
| [01:15.27] |
And found himself |
| [01:15.91] |
a big surprise |
| [01:20.42] |
He didnt see his brother |
| [01:21.37] |
but there was his mother |
| [01:22.47] |
With a red-headed |
| [01:23.6] |
head in her hands |
| [01:24.56] |
While the boyfriend had his |
| [01:25.87] |
gloves wrapped around |
| [01:26.69] |
an old grease |
| [01:27.56] |
Trying to choke a man |
| [02:11.54] |
Billy looked up from |
| [02:12.43] |
the window to the truck |
| [02:13.75] |
Threw up and had to |
| [02:15.22] |
struggle to stand |
| [02:19.7] |
He saw that redneck |
| [02:19.91] |
bastard with a hammer |
| [02:20.83] |
That priest was |
| [02:21.58] |
a shell of a man |
| [02:24.86] |
That priest was putting up |
| [02:25.81] |
the fight of his life |
| [02:26.99] |
But he was old and |
| [02:28.0] |
he was bound to lose |
| [02:30.80] |
The boyfriend hit |
| [02:31.44] |
as hard as he could |
| [02:32.88] |
And knocked the priest |
| [02:33.99] |
right down to his shoes |
| [02:41.88] |
Well now Billy never |
| [02:42.63] |
actually met |
| [02:44.38] |
The preacher lying |
| [02:45.2] |
there in the room |
| [02:49.23] |
he heard himself say that |
| [02:50.31] |
must be my daddy |
| [02:51.31] |
Then he knew what |
| [02:52.19] |
he was gonna do |
| [02:54.94] |
Billy got up e |
| [02:56.23] |
nough courage to give |
| [02:57.44] |
and grabbed the first |
| [02:58.37] |
blunt thing he could find |
| [03:00.75] |
It was a cold glass |
| [03:01.75] |
bottle of milk |
| [03:02.62] |
That was delivered |
| [03:03.98] |
every morning at nine |
| [03:47.2] |
Billy broke in and |
| [03:47.89] |
saw the blood on the floor |
| [03:49.26] |
and he turned around |
| [03:50.17] |
and put the lock on the door |
| [03:51.95] |
He looked straight |
| [03:53.43] |
into the boyfriend eye |
| [03:55.19] |
His mother was a ghost |
| [03:56.25] |
too upset to cry |
| [03:58.48] |
He took a step to |
| [03:59.44] |
the man on the ground |
| [04:00.76] |
But his mom trickled out |
| [04:01.87] |
an inaudible sound |
| [04:03.95] |
He heard the boyfriend |
| [04:05.1] |
shout Get out! |
| [04:06.51] |
And Billy said not til |
| [04:07.50] |
I know what |
| [04:08.13] |

| [04:09.63] |
Well this preacher here was |
| [04:10.94] |

| [04:12.57] |
But he just knew that |
| [04:13.68] |

| [04:15.19] |
So billy aim right |
| [04:16.27] |
at his face |
| [04:17.88] |
Smashed the bottle of the man |
| [04:19.14] |
who left his dad in disgrace |
| [04:21.45] |
The white milk dripped down |
| [04:22.75] |
with the blood |
| [04:23.89] |
and the boyfriend fell dead |
| [04:25.6] |
for good |
| [04:26.62] |
Right next to the preacher |
| [04:27.95] |

| [04:29.10] |
Billy shouted why daddy did |
| [04:30.80] |

| [04:32.81] |
Momma reached behind |
| [04:33.67] |
the sugar and honey |
| [04:34.94] |
Pulled out an envelope |
| [04:36.80] |
filled with money |
| [04:38.23] |
Your daddy gave us this |
| [04:39.30] |
