lyrics

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 shares of ups and downs
Froze our tails, sleeping on the ground
And the jobs were few, and far between

We’ve been knockin round together so long
Singing the same old songs
Been out in the rain so long, I swear, we’re shrinking

Billy
Lately I have done some thinking
And when I look back on our lives
We sure had ourselves a time

But you know
It’s been a wild world we traveled
And it’s starting to unravel
We leave so many loose ends behind

We’ve been bucked off and kicked so many times
And the ground just keeps getting harder
Billy you know well as I, we ain’t gettin no younger

Billy
Another summer’s come and gone
Now with winter comin on
I know we planned on heading 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 left back home
And 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 to tell ‘em all down in Texas, I said “Hi”
