Billy Lyrics by Hillsburn

In The Battle Years

2016

[Chorus]
I shot Billy but Billy won't die
I sank him in the lake, deep
Still he’s screaming up at me
[Verse 1]
We got married in a fever
Young and so eager
In a hall all full of friends
And late that night out in some back seat
He knuckled up to me
My fever turned to ice and wind
[Pre-Chorus]
An hour out in the sunlight
Twenty-three in the dark
[Chorus]
I shot Billy but Billy won't die
I sank him in the lake, deep
Still he's screaming up at me
[Verse 2]
Bought a house out on the river
And I burned it to cinders
Dumped some danger down the well
Jesus washed the feet of liars
Well, I set ’em on fire
And send 'em screaming down to hell
[Pre-Chorus]
An hour out in the sunlight
Twenty-three in the dark
[Chorus]
I shot Billy but Billy won't die
I sank him in the lake, deep
Still he's screaming up at me
