Billy Covington (LP版) - The Great Divide

Billy Covington in a lime green pickup truck

To meet the rest of our friends

Piled out with a case of longnecks

Every night down where the river bends

One Night Billy got this crazy notion

To make a run to the Mexico line

And if things went well well

What the hell we might stay for the rest of our lives

Cause he'd say “I don't want to end up like everyone

Who gets a job just hangs around this town

Spends the rest of his days under the gun

Desperately trying to convince themselves

These are all the cards life will deal

Cause I got my life and I got my dreams

I wont let this wicked world steal

So Billy pulled a shotgun on a friend at the quick mart

He just smiled and filled the sack with cash

About got busted down in Del Rio trying to steal a tank of gas

Cause we were saving every dime we had taken

So we could hide out and live just like kings

When the coast was clear king Billy disappeared

And the rest of were just left out in the streets

It took four days to hitch hike home got my job back at the mill

Every now and then I hear his voice on the wind

And I know that Billy is running still

Cause he'd say I don't want to end up like everyone

He gets a job just hangs around this town spends the rest of his days under the gun

Desperately trying to convince themselves these are all the cards life will deal

Cause I got my life and I got my dreams I wont let this wicked world steal
