BILLY WAS A WELTERWEIGHT, NEVER GOT THE SHOT AT THE TITLE
NEVER WAS A RICH BOY, ALWAYS PLAYED THE HUSTLE, A SURVIVOR
HE WENT THE WRONG WAY HOME, NOW HE'S A LONG WAY GONE

I CAN STILL REMEMBER PLAY THE ROCK, YOU'RE THE DROP
I'M THE DRIVER
PACK IT UP BURN IT IN THE BACK YARD
THROW IT ON THE FIRE
HE WAS A REAL GOOD GUY
HE WAS A FRIEND OF MINE
SHOT DOWN IN THE STREET ONE NIGHT
STANDING UP FOR A STRANGER

THAT'S LIFE IN THE BIG CITY
THAT'S LIFE AND IT AIN'T ALWAYS PRETTY
AH, BILLY WHERE ARE YOU NOW?
I DON'T EVER WANNA LEAVE THIS TOWN

EVERYBODY'S LOOKING FOR THE SCAPE GOAT RUNNING IN THE
AISLE BILLY GOT HANDS, HE'S THE GHOST OF A CHAMP THAT
RETIRED GOT KNOCKED DOWN ALL FIGHT, BIG LAUGHS ALL NIGHT
HEY, EVERYBODY CAME TO PLAY
ANYWAY

THAT'S LIFE IN THE BIG CITY
THAT'S LIFE AND IT AIN'T ALWAYS PRETTY
AH, BILLY WHERE ARE YOU NOW?
I DON'T EVER WANNA LEAVE THIS TOWN

RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY
COME AGAIN ANOTHER DAY
RAIN, RAIN JUST GO AWAY
TODAY
AH, BILLY WHERE ARE YOU NOW?
AH, BILLY WHERE ARE YOU NOW?
AH, BILL, IT'S LIKE YOU ALMOST KNEW
I WISH I SAID GOODBYE TO YOU
