Billy

Tony Joe White

[Verse 1]
Billy, we’ve come a long ways together
And through it all, you’ve been just like a brother to me
Billy, we’ve had our share of ups and downs
Froze our tails sleeping on the ground
And the jobs were few and far between

[Chorus]
We’ve been knocking around together so long
Singing them same old songs
Went out in the rain so long
I swear we’re shrinking

[Verse 2]
Billy, lately I have done some thinkin'
And when I look back on our lives
We sure had ourselves a time
But you know, it’s been a while whеre we travelеd
And it’s starting to unravel
We leave so many loose ends behind

[Chorus]
We’ve been booked off and kicked so many times
And the ground just keeps getting harder
Billy you know well as I, we ain’t getting no younger

[Verse 3]
Billy, another summers come and gone
Now we’re the winner coming home
I know we planned on headin' south
But you know, I’ve thought about it several days
And these words I’m about to say
They don’t taste good in my mouth

[Outro]
But there’s someone I love back home
And if she'll still have me
Guess this time I’m saying so long, you go on without me
Ain't no easy way of saying goodbye
So be sure and tell em all down in Texas
I said "Hi"
