《Billy Dee》歌词

[00:00:01] Billy Dee--Kris Kristofferson

[00:00:11] Billy Dee was seventeen when he turned twenty-one

[00:00:16] Fooling with some foolish things he could've left alone

[00:00:21] But he had to try to satisfy a thirst he couldn't name

[00:00:27] Driven towards the darkness by the devil in his veins

[00:00:34] All around the honky tonks searching for a sign

[00:00:39] Gettin' by on gettin' high on women words and wine

[00:00:44] Some folks called him crazy Lord and others called him free

[00:00:50] But we just called us lucky for the love of Billy Dee

[00:01:02] Busy goin' his own way and speakin' his own words

[00:01:08] Facin' and forgettin' every warnin' that he heard

[00:01:12] Makin' friends and takin' any crazy chance he could

[00:01:18] Gettin' busted for the bad times and believin' in the good

[00:01:25] Billy took a beatin' from a world he meant no harm

[00:01:30] The score was written in the scars up on his arm

[00:01:36] Some felt he was payin' for the life he tried to lead

[00:01:41] But all we felt was sorry for our good friend Billy Dee

[00:01:53] It may be his soul was bigger than a body's oughta be

[00:01:59] Singin' songs and bringin' laughter to the likes of you and me

[00:02:04] Cause the world he saw was sadder than the one he hoped to find

[00:02:10] But it wasn't near as lonesome as the one he left behind

[00:02:17] Yesterday they found him on the floor of his hotel

[00:02:22] Reachin' towards the needle Lord that drove him down to hell

[00:02:27] Some folks called it suicide others blame the speed

[00:02:33] But we all called it crucified when Billy Dee O D 'd
