Anna Bates - Billy

{VERSE 1}

Billy just drank and drank himself to death
We used to shoot ol' shotguns off the back of Whitney's deck
Billy wasn't careful, he was stupid all the time
He would swing the gun around,point it at his chest and mine
Whitney's deck was rotten, Billy soon fell through
Two stories to the desert dirt, but never got a bruise

{Chorus}

Nine lives, impossible to die
Nothing could kill ol' Billy
That daring man of mine

Nine lives, decreased right down to one
Could nothing kill ol' Billy
Could nothing get it done

{VERSE 2}

We used to take thе truck out, 110, flying out north
How he happened not to crash it, I'll nеver know for sure
Billy got in fist fights at Mountain Rambler Bar
Those men stood twice as tall as him, he had twice the troubled heart
Black-eyed Billy pulled through, after every punch and blow
He's start to breathe right when we thought the maker called him home

{Chorus X2}

Nine lives, impossible to die
Nothing could kill ol' Billy
That daring man of mine

Nine lives, decreased right down to one
Could nothing kill ol' Billy
Could nothing get it done

Nine lives, impossible to die
Nothing could kill ol' Billy
That daring man of mine

Nine lives, decreased right down to one
Could nothing kill ol' Billy
Could nothing get it done

{VERSE 3}

Last week I buried Billy, damnit what a shame
Fought bears and brutes, and treated life as if it were a game
The thing that got my Billy, was the liquid in the glass
Took him down and out and quickly, sent him under just as fast
