Billy Paul Paroles

You were my friend for nearly twenty years
You loved my dirty jokes and ice cold beer
Tonight my eyes are filling up with tears
Cause it'll never be the same without you here

When your picture cam across the evening news
Said they found a woman dead up in your room
Well I hit my knees and prayed it wasn't true
Man it killed me when I found out it was you

[Chorus]

Now I've seen you at your best and now your worst
The best of you is what I'll remember first
We'll read your momma's favorite Bible verse
And then watch you ride away in that old hearse

Well I know you're ashamed for what you done
The only choice you thought you had was just to run
Pride always gets the best of everyone Why'd you have to go and end it all?
What made you go crazy, Billy Paul?

[Chorus]
