I'm noAmt sure if there's a point to this story
But I'm Cgoing to Gtell it aAmgain
AmSo many other people try to tell the tale
Not Cone of them Gknows the Amend
It was a Amjunk-house in South Carolina
Held a Cboy the Gage of Amten
AmAlong with his older brother Billy
And their Cmother and Gher boyAmfriend
Who was a Dtriple loser with some blue tattoos
DThat were given to him when he was young
And a Amdrunk temper that was easy to lose
And thank Cgod he didn'tG own a Emgun Am
AmWell, Billy woke up in the back of his truck
Took a Cminute to Gopen his Ameyes
AmHe took a peep into the back of the house
And found hiCmself a Gbig surAmprise
DHe didn't see his brother but there was his mother
DWith her red-headed head in her hands
While the Amboyfriend had his gloves wrapped around an old
CPriest trying to Gchoke the Emman Am

AmBilly looked up from the window to the truck
Threw Cup, and had to Gstruggle to sAmtand
AmHe saw that red-necked bastard with a hammer
Turn the Cpriest into a Gshell of a Amman
DThe priest was putting up the fight of his life
DBut he was old and he was bound to lose
The Amboyfriend hit as hard as he could
And knocked the Cpriest rightG down to his EmshoesAm
AmWell, now Billy knew but never actually met
The Cpreacher lying Gthere in the Amroom
AmHe heard himself say, "That must be my daddy"
Then he Cknew what he was Ggonna Amdo
DBilly got up enough courage, took it up
DAnd grabbed the first blunt thing he could find
It was a Amcold, glass bottle of milk
That got deClivered every Gmorning at Emnine Am

AmBilly broke in and saw the blood on the floor, and
AmHe turned around and put the lock on the door
DmHe looked dead into the boyfriend's eye
His Emother was a ghost, too upset to cry, then
AmHe took a step toward the man on the ground
AmFrom his mouth trickled out a little audible sound
DmHe heard the boyfriend shout, "Get out!"
And Billy Esaid, "Not till I know what this is all about"
Am"Well, this preacher here was attacking your mama"
AmBut Billy knew just who was starting the drama
DmSo Billy took dead aim at his face
And smashed theE bottle on the man who left his dad in disgrace, and
AmThe white milk dripped down with the blood, and the
AmBoyfriend fell down dead for good
Right Dmnext to the preacher who was gasping for air
And Billy Eshouted, "Daddy, why'd you have to come back here?"
AmHis mama reached behind the sugar and honey, and
AmPulled out an envelope filled with money
"Your Dmdaddy gave us this," she collapsed in tears
"EHe's been paying all the bills for years"
Am"Mama, let's put this body underneath the trees
Amand put Daddy in the truck and head to Tennessee"
DmJust then, his little brother came in
Holding the Emilk man's hat and a bottle of gin singing,
AmWell now you heard another side to the story
But you Cwanna know Ghow it Amends?
AmIf you must know, the truth about the tale
CGo and Gask the Ammilkman
