Billy Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

(Tony Joe White) 

Billy we've come along way together and through it all 

You've been just like a brother to me 

And Billy we've had our share of ups and downs 

Froze our tails sleeping on the ground 

When the jobs were few and far between. 

We've been knocking around together so long 

Singing them same old songs 

Been out in the rain so long I swear we're shrinking 

Billy lately I have done some thinking.

When I look back on our lives 

We've sure had ourself a time 

But you know it's been a wild world we traveled 

And it's startin' to unravel. 

We leave so many loose ends behind 

We've been bucked off and kicked so many times 

And the ground just keeps gettin' harder 

Billy you know well as I we ain't gettin' no younger.

Billy another summer's come and gone 

Now with winter coming on 

I know we planned on heading south 

But Billy I 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 who's waiting back home 

Lord, if she'll still have me 

Guess I'll be 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...
