"Billy"


	Billy was a good friend of mine
	We grew up together ever since we were nine
	We went to school, he was my best friend
	And I thought our friendship would never end

	In highschool he played football
	And me, I didn't do anything at all
	He made touch-downs, while I played pool
	And no one could figure out, which one of us was the fool

	Then we both went to collage
	He studied medicine, while I studied foilage
	He got "A's", and I got "D's"
	He was going for his P.H.D.
	Then I decided to drop out
	Things were getting a little to hot
	Billy stayed there, became an intern, then a doctor
	Then war broke out and he had to go
	But not me, I was mentally unfit or so they say, so, so

	When he came back, he wasn't quite the same
	His nerves were shot, but not me
	Last time I saw him, I couldn't take it anymore
	He wasn't the Billy I knew, it was like talking to a door

	Billy was a friend of mine
	I grew up with him ever since we were nine
	We went together to school
	And now I often wonder, which one of us was the fool
