This song tells the true story of a troubled neighbor who lives beside my farm in Eastern Kentucky. A former convict with a past in meth dealing, he would cross the fence line to plant marijuana on my land, as if the boundary meant nothing. When I confronted him, instead of remorse he twisted scripture, quoting the Bible in ways that suited his own desires. His words were a strange mix of sin and self-justification, a reminder of how easy it is for the misguided to cloak wrongdoing in the language of faith.– Marty Falle August 2025
