Billy - King Raam

Billy said he’s got it figured out again

Billy said he found a way out of the mess

Bill said the system was corrupt

Bill said the system was corrupt

Billy came from somewhere, Louisiana

Went around the world to mend a broken heart

Billy was living for the road…

Billy was living for the road…

Billy made love to a girl in Iowa

Met her in a bar in Des Moines

She was wearing a helmet signed by Elvis

That her mama got before the war

For her papa who never came home

So they sent a flag to her door

That she wears like a super hero

As she speeds up through the empty streets

That her daddy fought to keep so clean

From the monsters hiding over seas

From the monsters screaming on TV

Billy had a dream of flying aeroplanes

Cruising through the clouds above the rain

Billy didn’t want to drop no atom bomb

Billy just wanted to write a song

For a girl he met in Iowa

Billy never saw her face again

Billy never was the same again

And every time he sees another flag

Just remembers the story of her dad

And the helmet that he never had

Billy why you hiding behind the glass?

Billy why you running from the past?
