^EMe and Billy Joe Taylor joined each ^Aother at the hip ^EI loved him like the brother I never ^Ahad ^EHe was my go to guy on ^Athird and ten ^EHe made me look good at the quarter^Aback, ^Emmmmm ^{A E}Texas had a man in the stands the ^Anight we beat the Panthers Said they ^Ehad a spot for both of us that next ^Afall ^EWe were riding high on pride and ^Abig time futures ^ESmall town paper said we had it ^Ball

^EUp until the night me and Billy Joe ^Bdrank way too much for Blue Buck ^ERoad Born to Be Wild on the radio^A, God I still hate that song ^EBoth of died there in that ^Bcrash, but I lived to wish I had that night ^Eback After that football ^Adidn't mean that much But ^Euntil then,^B I thought that's who I ^Ewas ^A

^EDaddy had a hardware store where ^Ahard work was his living ^EPeddling the hammers that built this ^Atown ^EI broke his heart that summer when I ^Atold he what I wasn't getting ^EHow to sell the nails by the ^Apound ^{E A E}Spent my last paycheck on an ^ARC and a Greyhound ^EA front seat to the world I'd never ^Aseen ^EGot a job, got a girl, had some cash and ^Athe world in my pocket ^EThought I'd found my place in the great ^Bmachine
