Billy

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.

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
