flashback .. about the time i'd taken tommy and kathy in
terrie and I repeated we didn't love one another
she confessed she knew I loved dolly
it took me quite by surprise
when she said she's in love
with ricky .. one of my brothers
at first i'd felt relief .. then sickness
I guess I can't explain how it felt
all in all .. everything for the best
it had only been two months before
i'd sent ricky and ronny to texas
they were wanted on marijuana charges
i'd no choice there either
my family had broken up
now tommy and kathy were gone
depression had hit me really hard
i'd left terrie at her parents house
went to pack .. didn't know where to go
judy brought terrie over .. quick
tried to get me to change my mind
no way in hell i'd ever do that
i'd enough .. way more than enough
I let judy have it .. full in both ears
told her she's not my wife or mother
she had no business being at my house
shame should follow her for the rest of her life
the wedding was fake from the beginning
I said take terrie back home with you
judy took the color tv set
it was a wedding present
she asked me about the baby
I replied don't you worry
not in the very least
child support will be sent
from wherever I end up
pushed judy out of my house
I slammed the door hard
sat down on my ice chest
put my face in my hands
thought .. long and hard
tears came .. somehow i'd lost my brothers, sister and unborn son
