| Lyrics: | 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 |
