Billy boy was out of town
Sweet little Jeanny messin' around
Meeting with all kinds of friends
Heading for some new romance
Billy boy didn't see that she was lyin'
'Cause he was blind
Billy boy, have you heard the news?
Sweet little Jeanny has been abused
Now you're the talk of the town
Of everybody here around
Billy boy wait, don't run away
But it's too late
Billy boy's no man of fear
Sweet little Jeanny shades a tear
She's aware that he would do
Everything she wants him to
Jeanny is cryin' and he takes a walk
Into the trap
Billy boy, what have you done?
"I blew up a life with my gun"
You ruined your life for no reason
You were a love of just one season
And he don't hear 'cause he's so far away
Far with his mind
Billy boy was out of town
Sweet little Jeanny messin' around
Meeting with all kinds of friends
Heading for some new romance
Out of the darkness, into the light
He's no more blind
