Billy Dee--Kris Kristofferson[00:00:01]
Billy Dee was seventeen when he turned twenty-one[00:00:11]
Fooling with some foolish things he could've left alone[00:00:16]
But he had to try to satisfy a thirst he couldn't name[00:00:21]
Driven towards the darkness by the devil in his veins[00:00:27]
All around the honky tonks searching for a sign[00:00:34]
Gettin' by on gettin' high on women words and wine[00:00:39]
Some folks called him crazy Lord and others called him free[00:00:44]
But we just called us lucky for the love of Billy Dee[00:00:50]
Busy goin' his own way and speakin' his own words[00:01:02]
Facin' and forgettin' every warnin' that he heard[00:01:08]
Makin' friends and takin' any crazy chance he could[00:01:12]
Gettin' busted for the bad times and believin' in the good[00:01:18]
Billy took a beatin' from a world he meant no harm[00:01:25]
The score was written in the scars up on his arm[00:01:30]
Some felt he was payin' for the life he tried to lead[00:01:36]
But all we felt was sorry for our good friend Billy Dee[00:01:41]
It may be his soul was bigger than a body's oughta be[00:01:53]
Singin' songs and bringin' laughter to the likes of you and me[00:01:59]
Cause the world he saw was sadder than the one he hoped to find[00:02:04]
But it wasn't near as lonesome as the one he left behind[00:02:10]
Yesterday they found him on the floor of his hotel[00:02:17]
Reachin' towards the needle Lord that drove him down to hell[00:02:22]
Some folks called it suicide others blame the speed[00:02:27]
But we all called it crucified when Billy Dee O D 'd[00:02:33]
