[Intro]
G G G G
[Verse]
G
I don't know how it started out
with Billy Mac and me,
We were just two country kids,
half wild and runnin' free,
We thought we knew an easy road
that lead to wealth and fame,
G
So down in the city
we set out to make our name.
A
But one night in a alley,
the law stretched out it's arm,
Somehow it was Billy who wound
up on a prison farm,
G
But Billy did it easy
it was just the type to pay,
And though I stayed close handy
I look forward to the day.
When I could get back to the land
and maybe settle down,
G
Maybe raise a fam'ly an' start
D G
plowin' my own ground,
[Chorus]
Now Billy Mac rides down the street,
in a shiny limousine,
And sittin' close beside him
is the current beauty queen.
For Billy Mac he made it,
he's a big man in the town,
But me? I'm just a country boy,
D G
plowin' my own ground.
G
The parole board listened to his case
and finally set him free,
I thought that would be the end of
Billy Mac and me.
I got my land an' married up
an' begun to settle down,
G
'Til one night in early spring,
D G
Billy Mac came 'round,
A
Billy now was wealthy,
he had a lot to say,
About my chance in politics if
he helped on the way.
He talked of power an' money as
only Billy could,
But I'd become my own man,
couldn't see it doin' any good,
But Billy laughed and told me,
what a fool I'd be,
Well I guess that night,
it was the end of Billy Mac an' me.
[Chorus]
Now Billy Mac rides down the street,
in a shiny limousine
And sittin' close beside him
is the current beauty queen
Well Billy Mac he made it,
he's a big man in the town,
But me? I'm just a country boy,
D G
plowin' my own ground.
G
Things don't last forever,
and Billy had to fight,
To hold his wealth and power,
it caught up with him one night,
There in another alley,
a shotgun cut him down,
G
Billy Mac's no longer,
a big man in this town.
[Chorus]
Now Billy Mac rides down the street,
in a shiny limousine
With piles of wreaths and flowers,
the prettiest you have seen,
For Billy Mac he made it,
was a big man in the town,
But me? I'm just a country boy,
D G
plowin' my own ground.
But me? I'm just a country boy,
D G
plowin' my own ground,
But me? I'm just a country boy,
D G
plowin' my own ground.
