Billy Lyrics - Reed Lou

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 highschool 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 collage 

He studied medicine, while I studied foilage 

He got "A's", and I got "D's" 

He was going for his P.H.D. 

The I decided to drop out 

Then I decided to drop out 

Things were getting a little to hot 

Billy stayed there, became an intern, 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 we were nine 

We went together to school 

And now I often wonder, which one of us was the fool
