[hometext] => Just something that i wrote when i was hiking one day.
[bodytext] => "Mountain Justice" Billy was a mountain boy. From the hill's in Tennessee. And at twelve years old, he was left alone. When he lost his family. He had lost his Pa some year's ago, While out checking on his trap's. He had crossed paths with a Grizzly Bear, And it had broke his father's back. When Billy had found his father, He knelt at his father's side. And he spoke to billy through his dying word's, Son God said that it's time. He said Billy you are the man now, So take care of your Ma and Sis. Tell them that I will always love them, And that I leave them with this Kiss. Through the pain in Billy's Heart, And the tear's iin Billy's eye's He made his pa that promise, As he watched his father die. Well some year's had passed,since his father's death. And Billy had become a man. But God had made anorther claim, When death had crossed his land. Some City boy's with thier fancy Gun's And Whiskey in thier vein's. Had found thier way to Billy's place. And with Blood thier hand's were stained. They took his Ma and sister's life. And burned the cabin to the ground. And as the shot's rang through the Valley floor, Billy spun around. He saw the smoke above the tree's, And he headed straight for home. But on his way, he knew inside, That he was left alone. Billy swore he'd find those boy's, He would hunt and track them down. And he would never stop till he found them all, And put them in the ground. Well Billy,he did find them Boy's, At the River heading West. And Billy had kept his promise. When he laid them all to rest. Now some say he's still up there. Seen in a Mountain draw. And that up in those Tennessee Mountain's. Billy's is the only Law.
