Lyrics

Billy Wayne 'Twas Nashville '67 when a kid named Billy Wayne in a silly fight shot a man into his grave aiming for the son/the father he did slay now Billy went to prison/but in three years he escaped Billy Wayne never left town, he stayed around got drunk around high he never even changed his name, it was Billy Wayne that he went by CHORUS: Cause Billy learned you can never outrun the business end of a smoking gun Kill a man and put him in his grave that's a step that you can't untake that's a bullet that you can't unshoot that bullet turned around and it followed you, oh Billy Wayne When the cops caught up to Billy Wayne/he'd lost that baby face An exhausted and sorry old man stood there in his place He said "Boys, I've been right here for 30 years, laying in plain sight" Billy Wayne never left Nashville, but he'd been running all his life CHORUS Some people wonder why Billy never ran/how can you live among the lives you've ruined Some say he never cared and getting high is all he knew I wasn't even born when it happened, but I take a different view I say the night he shot and killed someone's Daddy that's the night Billy Wayne died, too CHORUS Copyright 2008 Beka Bronk
