From the recording Harper
Lyrics
Well, Billy was the kind of boy
Who lived inside his mind
He always thought there was much more
to life, and He did find
He thought He was just a good ole boy
Just like everyone else
But life came down mighty hard
and He sank inside himself
Yo da lo ee ey
Yo da lo oo oh
a da le he
Well, his mama taught him long ago
about a man that she called Christ
She told him of His suffering
and how He gave his life
I know the story has been told
a million times or more
But Billy found, when the bottom
fell out, Christ was knocking at his door.
Yo da le ee ey
a de da lo ee oh
a de da le he
Well, Billy's been down so many times
He can't see cause He's been crying
His body hurts, and his heart aches
Can't get his mind off his mistakes
Yo da le e he he
yo da lo woo woo
yo da lo he yo da lo oo woo
yo da la he
Well, Christ came in and talked to him
about what his mom said
And in a flash, it all came back
like a flood into his head
He told him of His forgiving love
And His promises are true
So Billy sank to his knees
Now he's standing in front of you
Yo da le ee ey
a da le ee o
a da le he
Well, Billy's been down so many times
He can't see cause He's been crying
His body hurts, and his heart aches
Can't get his mind off his mistakes
Yo da le e he he
yo da lo woo woo
yo da lo he yo da lo oo woo
yo da la he
Take it, home boys
