Billy |
| Billy was a good friend of mine |
| We grew up together ever since we were nine |
| We went to school, he was my best friend |
| And I thought our friendship would never end |
| In high school he played football |
| And me, I didn’t do anything at all |
| He made touch-downs, while I played pool |
| And no one could figure out which one of us was the fool |
| Then we both went to college |
| He studied medicine while I studied foliage |
| He got A’s and I got D’s |
| He was going for his Ph. D |
| Then I decided to drop out |
| Things were getting a little too hot |
| Billy stayed there, became an intern and then a doctor |
| Then war broke out and he had to go |
| But not me, I was mentally unfit, or so they say, so, so |
| When he came back, he wasn’t quite the same |
| His nerves were shot, but not me |
| Last time I saw him, I couldn’t take it anymore |
| He wasn’t the Billy I knew, it was like talking to a door |
| Billy was a friend of mine |
| I grew up with him ever since I was nine |
| We went together through school |
| And now I often wonder, which one of us was the fool |
