Billy's leavin' today, don't know where he's goin'
Holds his head in disgrace, he can't escape the truth
He knows the price that he's paid,
He admits that it's too late to admit that he's afraid
Tomorrow comes, sorrow becomes his soul mate
The damage is done, the prodigal son is too late
Oh door's closed, but he's always open
'Til he'll have time in his mind, oh Billy
Billy's leavin' today, don't know where he's goin'
He's got lines on his face that tell a story of his painHe accepts it's his fate,
He admits it took too long to admit that he was wrong
Tomorrow comes, sorrow becomes his soul mate
The damage is done, the prodigal son is too late
Oh door's closed, but he's always open'Til he'll have time in his mind, oh billy
Once he was a lover sleepin' with another,
Now he's just known as a cheat
And he wished he had a mirror looked a little clearer
Seen to the eyes of the weakYeah, once he was a lover sleepin' with another,
Now he's just known as a cheat
And he wished he had a mirror looked a little clearer
Seen to the eyes of the weak
Tomorrow comes, sorrow becomes his soul mate
The damage is done, the prodigal son is too late (too late)
Oh door's closed, but he's always open
'Til he'll have time in his mind, oh billy
Oh billy
