Carolina Drama - Lyrics


I'm not sure if theres a point to this story but i'm gonna tell it again,
So many tried to tell the tale not one of them knows the end.

It was a junk house in South Carolina held a boy at the age of ten,
Along with his older Billy, and there mother and her boyfriend,
Who was a triple loser with some blue tattoos that were given to him when he was young,
And a drunk temper that was easy to loose,
But thank god he didn't own a gun.

Well, 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 didn't see his brother but there was his mother with a red headed head in her hands,
While the boyfriend has his gloves wrapped around an old priest trying to choke the man.

Billy looked up from the window to the truck threw up and had to struggle to stand,
He saw that red neck bastard with a hammer turn that priest into 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 knew but never actully meet,
The Preacher lying there in the room,
He heard himself say "That must be my daddy" and he knew what he was going to do,
Billy got up enough courage took it up and grabbed the first blint thing he could find,
It was a cold glass bottle of milk that got delivered every morning at nine.

Billy broke in and saw the blood on the floor and,
He turned around and broke the lock on the door,
He looked dead into the boyfriends eye,
His mother was a ghost to upset to cry,
Then he took a step toward the man on the ground,
From his mouth trickled out a notical sound,
He heard the boyfriend shout "Get Out!",
But Billy said "Not till i know what this is all about",
Well this bitch here was attacking your momma,
But Billy noticed he was starting the drama,
So Billy took dead aim at his face,
Smashed a bottle on the man and left his dad in disgrace,
And the white milk dripped down with the blood,
And the boyfriend fell down dead for good,
Right next to the preacher who was gasping for air,
Billy shouted "Daddy why did you have to come back here!"
His mother reached behind the sugar and honey,
And pulled out and envolope bill with money
"Your daddy gave us this" She collasped in tears,
"He's been paying all the bills for years",
"Momma lets put this body under the trees, put daddy in the truck and head to Tennessee"
Just then his little brother came in, holding the Milkmans hat and a bottle of gin,
singing:

La la la la la la la Yea [x3]
La la la, la la la
La la la la la la la Yea [x3]
La la la, la la la
La la la la la la la Yea [x4]

Well now you heard another side to the story but you wanna know how it ends,
If you must know the truth of this tale is go and have some milk man
