Keith Urban - Billy lyrics

Billy left on Friday night with twenty dollars cash

Had a thousand more and a diamond on his hand

When he got back

I don't know just where Billy got that dough.

Saturday he spent in style

Drinks were on the house

Lincoln here, and a Jackson there

Suspicions were aroused.

A dime was dropped and a name was named

A body soon was found

A travelin' Bilble salesman

On his monthly trip to town.

Three bullet holes

A .38 done took his soul

What do you know

No diamond ring, no money roll.

A quick investigation

They dragged Billy to the station

And broke him down with the third degree

His alibi unraveled

Judge Riley banged his gavel

A 12-man jury all agreed

So he must be guilty.

I knew Billy spent that night

Winning big at cards

And the salesman was a married man

Who broke my sisters heart.

Billy sits in Levenworth

Waiting for the gas

And I know lots of other things

But no one ever asked.

So they'll never know

Swear to God they'll never know

Case is closed, that's how

The story will be told...
