Billy’s Ballad Lyrics by Johan Berggren

For Now I’m Good Right Here

0

Billy was an only child the son of a hard working man
His mother passed while Billy still could fit in her hands
He was raised in a backwards small town with only a couple hundred people a round
In a town like that it ain’t easy being the one sticking out
His dad always said to Billy if you work hard you’ll get paid
And if you don’t you’ll end up like those bums who sleep down by the rails
So he found himself a good job loading timber at the mill
Come Friday and the boys would go out to get their fill
The girls there loved Billy they thought he was sweet
Always quiet in the corner with his two left feet
And his dad would say Billy now you’re acting strange, come out here and dance
You’ll never find a woman if you don’t give them a chance
But Billy had a secret at night when his father slept
He’d climb up to the attic where he kept a champagne dress
He got it from his grandma she was the only one
Who truly loved Billy for who he really was
The rain fell ten times harder after his grandma died
And one morning he couldn’t take it anymore, living a lie
They found him in the morning with a note in his hand
Saying daddy I love you but you’ll never understand
Billy’s father had to sell the house it was too big for only one
And while cleaning out the attic he finally met his son
He put the dress on Billy’s tombstone and folded it real nice
And shed some tears for the ones he’d lost as he looked up to the sky
