0:52When he was young
0:54And a drunk temper that
0:55Was easy to lose
0:57Thank god he didn't
0:58Own a gun
1:06Billy woke up
1:07In the back of his truck
1:08Took a minute to
1:09Open his eyes
1:13He took a peep into
1:14The back of the house
1:15And found himself
1:16A big surprise
1:19He didnt see his brother
1:20But there was his mother
1:21With a red-headed
1:22Head in her hands
1:24While the boyfriend had his
1:26Gloves wrapped around
1:27An old grease
1:28Trying to choke a man
2:12Billy looked up from
2:12The window to the truck
2:14Threw up and had to
2:15Struggle to stand
2:19He saw that redneck
2:20Bastard with a hammer
2:21That priest was
2:22A shell of a man
2:25That priest was putting up
2:26The fight of his life
2:27But he was old and
2:28He was bound to lose
2:30The boyfriend hit
2:32As hard as he could
2:33And knocked the priest
2:34Right down to his shoes
2:41Well now Billy never
2:42Actually met
2:44The preacher lying
2:45There in the room
2:49He heard himself say that
2:50Must be my daddy
2:51Then he knew what
2:52He was gonna do
2:55Billy got up e
2:56Nough courage to give
2:57And grabbed the first
2:58Blunt thing he could find
3:01It was a cold glass
3:02Bottle of milk
3:03That was delivered
3:03Every morning at nine
3:47Billy broke in and
3:48Saw the blood on the floor
3:49And he turned around
3:50And put the lock on the door
3:52He looked straight
3:53Into the boyfriend eye
3:55His mother was a ghost
3:56Too upset to cry
3:58He took a step to
3:59The man on the ground
4:01But his mom trickled out
4:02An inaudible sound
