Billy

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

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

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 where we traveled

And it’s starting to unravel

We leave so many loose ends behind

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

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

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"
