Hummingbird Billy

hummingbird billy saw red

said all that he could say

to take that gold away from them

and make it come his way

grabbed that cash and ducked out

went down the road from where he lucked out

spent half his heart and got a whole lot

and now billy got mad clout

cause we all need something

to make it through today

and then again tomorrow

cause we're all lost somewhere

and that where we'll stay

newfound friends and old loose ends

somehow found their way

there's no more rest in billy's nest

billy, he got to play

one new life, two new homes

he got three new shiny cars

with four girlfriends his mama done said

billy don't you play too hard

but we all need something mama

to make it through today

and then again tomorrow

cause we're all lost somewhere

and that where we'll stay

humming billy saw red

and blue flashing lights

thanks to old friends and new loose ends

a silver bullet took his life

you see one of billy's girlfriends

didn't like the other three

oddly enough she got mad

and took it out on poor billy

up in billy heaven

life's never been so good

he got more riches and a lot more bitches

than he ever thought he would
