i know alot of you out there arent fans of red sovine but i am.i have been since the days i drove otr.his songs are about real life experiance,much like emenem and others in the music biz.
well this isnt about him,ok quit applauding.its about one of his songs,billy's christmas.many dont know the whole story and i wont tell it all either,now dang it quit with the applause again.
the story is about a time when red solvine played santa several years ago.
santa sees this young boy,barefoot and clantelly dressed.all the other children are wishing for their gifts but the boy just watches.finally santa calls out to the boy and they talk.the boy had been sleeping in cars and hadnt been home for days.his mom lived with a drunk and his dad was in prison.
anyway,the boy says all he wants is for santa to take him to heaven to see god.he had been told god loved little children and maybe god would let him stay for awhile,the boy then closed his eyes.santa felt for a pulse and yelled someone call an ambulance.billy was dead.
to make this shorter,it tells of unselfish love of a child who had nothing and wanted only to be wanted and see heaven.in the end he did.ill put it on if i can figure out how.
merry christmas to all,give it some thought this year.
