  • BILLY(mark H) Copy
    Billy's song. Grimes
    V1
    They hung Billy McClyn on the line
    Hung him out to dry.
    Billy with a grin
    Laughing at the stars.
    Howling when the moon was high.
    Clinging on to the edge of the sun.
    Just out of reach of the fire
    They hung him on the line
    Hung him out to dry
    Hung him on the old high wire.
    Billy with a gun.
    Billy on the run.
    Billy was a friend of mine.
    Was a friend of mine.
    V2
    Billy hung with Chapters of Angels.
    He hung with the Beats in the bay
    Jack Daniels took him through the night.
    & a six pack of Bud for the day.
    Steering his old Chevy with one hand.
    Rolling skinny reefers with the other.
    Wearing black T, blue jeans, bandana.
    Hey....
    Cowboy boots and a smile.?
    Billy with a gun,
    Billy on the run.
    Billy was a friend of mine.
    Was a friend of mine.
    V3
    He knew all of the hell holes.
    Mad bad guys were his friends.
    Each day was a miracle of odds against,
    fighting the expected ends.
    His voice was like a chainsaw.
    In The Redwoods on the coast road.  
    His face was old before his time.?
    He's gone, but I can see him grinning ?
    And hanging out to dry.
    Billy with a gun,
    Billy on the run
    Billy was a friend of mine.
    Was a friend of mine
    V4
    He and ma took the boy to a movie
    A kids cartoon, my hat!
    Sex and drugs and rock and roll
    They were digging fritz the cat.
    Mama cooking speed  for dollars
    In a trailer park near Fresno.
    Pa was gone before Billy was born.
    An they hung young billy on the line
    You're not doing time you're doing life my son.
    Oh..
    Billy on the run
    Billy with a gun.
    Billy was a friend of mine.
    Was friend of mine.
    V6
    Billy said he would come to London
    'We'll tie one on' he said
    'We'll eat steak and fries at The Dorchester.
    'Take tea with the rich and the dead
    He said.
    Martinis at The Ritz,
    Drink shots in the Savoy.
    We'll show those fancy dandy boys
    How Billy ain't no boy.
    .. Inst. Billy... ?
    V7
    'Lets take a stroll down the Mall,'
    he said
    Say howdy to the Queen .
    Ride a Roller down to Brighton
    cock a finger for our dreams.
    But Billy took the fast road
    Overtook me on the curve.
    Billy died at 29
    Gone out to find the sun?
    Spinning out before his time.
    Billy on the run
    Billy with a gun
    Billy was a friend of mine.
    V5
    He didn't get to London
    He didn't see the Queen
    Didn't wear a white Tuxedo
    In a casino in park lane.
    Billy on the run
    Billy with a gun
    Billy with a gun
    Billy on the run
    Billy was a friend of mine.
