Answer To Billy Lyrics by Slim Dusty

Columbia Lane - The Last Sessions

2004

It must be all of three years now since Billy hit the track
And Jenny with a broken heart has been to hell and back
They say she'll never love again, t'was just a one night stand
For she's still holds a candle for that no good truckin' man
Now Jenny runs a diner where she's workin' until late
To catch a glimpse of Billy when he's hauling interstate
But every trucks a Kenworth when she's lookin' for a Mack
And deep down in her heart she knows that Billy won't be back
Hey!
Instrumental
He's out there somewhere in the night the flashes comes again
She sees him on a mountain road in driving wind and rain
With vision poor and glaring lights and blinded weary eyes
Ah she prays to God, "Don't let it be the way that Billy dies."
Instrumental
She watches all the trucks roll in, there’s Jim from Gundagai
She watches out for Billy's truck in traffic passin' by
And with the roster for the day the staff are briefed before
"Watch out for that big ol' Mack with pinstripes on the door."
She drives out on the slower lane on the highway out of town
And every truck she sees his face, her world is upside down
She parks beside the vacant block, they lived there in a van
And remembers how she loved and lost that no good trucking man
Hey!
Instrumental
It must be all of three years now since Billy hit the track
And Jenny with a broken heart has been to hell and back
They say she'll never love again, t'was just a one night stand
For she's still holds a candle for that no good truckin' man
Hey
Yes she's still holds a candle for that no good truckin' man
