Good Ol' Kentucky Boys

We were just some good ole Kentucky boys
My brothers and me
My oldest brother Jack was the one who had the voice
He was wild and free
It was beer, deer, and fishin on the bank
I can't imagine a fear he had no matter how hard I think

He died
Riding on Crooked Creek in Quincy
Being chased by a man with a gun in his hand
It seems
Lord I'll never forget the day the news hit me
I'll never see him outside of my dreams

We were just some good ole Kentucky boys
My brother and me
My other brother Justin wasn't one for noise
Just wanted a life in peace
Just tryin to get by provide for his family
Workin like a slave he was digging his grave with a thumb colored green

I cried
just a week since he'd been missing
Shot in the back by the man that killed Jack
It seems
Lord I'll never forget the day the news hit me
I'll never see them outside of my dreams

Right then I knew who it was
And I took my time tracking him down
Nothing to lose but my mind
And I'm afraid it'll be too late by the time it's found

As I walked up on his porch I tried to breathe
But when I walked through the door
Red was all I seen
You see
Payback isn't stealing but it isn't cheap
And the coward's eyes are full of lies when he knows he's been beat

I smiled
My trigger finger's itchy
A .22 cal with one round's all I need
Lord I thanked god when it hit me

The fear in his eyes
As he begged for his life
Was enough to satisfy me

We were just some good ole Kentucky boys
My brothers and me
