Me and Billy Joe Taylor joined each at the hip I loved him like the I never had He was my on third and ten me look good at the quarterback
Texas had a man in the stands the we beat the panthers Said they had a spot for both of us that fall We ridin' high on pride, big time futures town paper said we had it all
Up until the night me and Billy Joe way too much for Blue Buck Road 'Born to be wild' on the radio, God, I hate that song Both of us died there in that crash but I to wish I had that night back After that football mean that much But then, I thought that's who I was
Daddy had a hardware store hard work was his livin' Peddelin' the hammers that built this I broke his heart that summer, I him what I [incomprehensible] How to sell the by the pound
my last paycheck on an RC and a Greyhound A front seat to the I'd never seen Got a job, got a girl, had some cash and world in my I'd found my place in the great machine
Up until the I got the call, mama said daddy didn't feel nothin' at all She down at the fellowship hall Said, baby, we need you with us I told my boss she gives me the I told my girl she wish we never met, but I regret what I gave up 'Cause then I thought that's who I was
I drove straight through twist and turns Went through crash and burns through some lessons learned with the weight on my shoulders Went the world to find the girl God had in mind me a better love than the one I scratched up But until then I that's who I was But ain't who I was
