Keith Urban - 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 A travelin' Bible salesman on his monthly trip to town Three bullet holes A .38 done 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 Levenworth 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
