Billy was a friend of mine We grew up together ever since we were nine We went all the way trough the school No one could really say wich one of us was the fool In high school he played football Me, I didn't do anything at all He made touch-downs, while I played pool And no one could really say which one of us was the fool
We left school then went to collage He studied medicine, I studied foliage He got A's and I got D's He was going for his Ph.D. Then he decided I decided to drop out Things were getting just a little too hot He said on the table he ain`t a 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 at all He wasn't the guy I knew, it was like I talking to a wall Remember Billy, he was my best friend We always said our friendship would never end
Billy was, a friend of mine Grew up together ever since We were nine We went together all the way through school No one could really say which one of us was the fool
