Verse 1:

Billy, we've come along way together

And through it all

You've been just like a brother to me

And Billy, we've had our share of ups and downs

Froze our tails sleeping on the ground

When the jobs were few and far between



Chorus 1:

We've been knocking around together so long

Singing them same old songs

Been out in the rain so long, I swear we're shrinking



Verse 2:

Blly, lately I have done some thinking

When I look back on our lives

We've sure had ourself a time

But you know, it's been a wild world we traveled

And it's starting to unravel

We leave so many loose ends behind



Chorus 2:

We've been bucked off and kicked so many times

And the ground just keeps getting harder

Billy, you know well as I, we ain't getting no younger



Verse 3:

Billy,another summer's come and gone

Now with winter coming on

I know we planned on heading south

But Billy, I thought about it several days

And these words I'm about to say

They don't taste good in my mouth



Chorus 3:

But there's someone who's waiting back home

Lord, if she'll still have me

Guess I'll be saying so long, you go on without me



Ain't no easy way of saying goodbye

So be sure and tell 'em all down in Texas, I said Hi
