Billy

[G]Billy[C] we've come a [D]long way toge[G]ther[C] and th[D]rough it [Bm]all
You've been [C]just like a brother to m[D]e
And B[G]illy[C] we've had our s[D]hare of ups and d[G]owns
[C]Froze our t[D]ails sleeping on the g[Bm]round
When the [C]jobs were few and far be[D]tween.

We've been [G]knocking around together so [C]long
[D]Singing them same old s[G]ongs
Been out in the rain so [C]long I [Am]swear we're s[D]hrinking

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 [Am]easy way of saying goo[D]dbye
So be s[Am]ure and tell 'em all down in [D]Texas I said [Em]hi...[C]   [D]      [G]
