Keith Urban Billy Lyrics

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

Travelin' Bible salesman on his monthly trip to town



Three bullet holes, a .38 gun 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 Leavenworth 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, alright now
