Billy was a drunken man at the age of 21
Spent his time drinking beer until his mind was spun
He sat there on the street where all of his possessions lay
Because the girl who stole his heart had thrown him out that day

No friends to depend on, his money nearly spent
Those people laugh and cause a scene as he counts every cent
He finds himself back at the bar, no one to complain to
He feels his life is crashing down, there’s nothing left to do

Well last call for whiskey and one more call for beer
If you’re not buying shit for me then get right out of here
Bartender please just one more drink and could you make it free?
Well you see the sunshine of my heart has just walked out on me

He said son, don’t worry for your life has just begun
And which girl are you speaking, I’ve seen you with more than one
And if you love her truly, why don’t you set her free?
You’ll take some time time to find a dime but you’ll get one you’ll see

Well Billy went away that day and never to return,
Some people say that he’s alive but no one knows for sure
Until the day a fisherman had hooked a rubber boot
To which Billy’s leg was attached, the man had caught a dupe
