A Million Pardons — Bj Lee lyrics

Lyrics

BJ Lee wasn’t like you and me
He had different opinions on how things should be
He grew tired of our society
So he went off to live on his own in the trees
Oh yeah, he went into the forest to live off of the land
Yeah, he went into the forest with nothing but his own hands
BJ Lee was reported missing
'Cause he hadn’t been seen by his friends or family
They searched the woods and they marked every tree
With a pink piece of ribbon to show where they’d been
Oh yeah, they went into the forest to see who they could find
Yeah, they went into the forest but BJ preferred to hide
A rancher checking cattle that spring
Found BJ’s body propped up by a tree
He laid to rest not more than 30 feet
From a pink piece of ribbon from the search party
Oh yeah, he went into the forest to live off of the land
Yeah, he went into the forest and ended up in God’s hands
