B.J. Thomas - Billy and Sue Lyrics

Send Billy and Sue Ringtone to your Cell

MUTUAL AGREEMENT LED TO LOVE AND TRUST
THEY WOULD TRAVEL THE ROAD TO MARRIAGE OR BUST
BUT WHEN BILLY WAS OLD ENOUGH TO TAKE A WIFE
HE WAS OLD ENOUGH TO FIGHT FOR HIS COUNTRY---
AND HIS WAY OF LIFE

BRIDGE- SUE'S LETTERS CAME EVERY DAY
GAVE HIM THE STRENGTH -TO SHOW HIM THE WAY
TO FIGHT FOR HIS COUNTRY AND THE GIRL HE LOVED---
THAT'S A SOLDIER'S ONLY FATE

THEN BILLY HEARD NO --- WORD FROM SUE
HE WAS WORRIED SICK BUT WHAT COULD HE DO
THE BULLETS WERE FLYING AS HE HUGGED THE GROUND AND BACK HOME
----SUE ----
WAS RUNNING ROUND

BILLY WAS GROWING LESS AND LESS STRONG
HIS HOPE HIS FAITH WAS ALMOST GONE
THEN LIKE A MIRACLE A LETTER APPEARED
BILLY TORE THE LETTER OPEN AND HE READ ---
DEAR JOHN

A LOOK CAME OVER BILLY THAT WOULD SCARE A GHOST
FAMILIAR LOOK SEEN ON SOLDIERS -- COAST TO COAST
EVEN THO THE AIR WAS FILLED WITH LEAD
BILLY JUMPED UP
THEY SHOT HIM DEAD

BILLY WAS BURIED IN A FARAWAY GRAVE THAT READ
FOR HIS COUNTRY -- HIS LIFE HE GAVE
BUT THE EPITAPH -- WAS ONLY A PART
HE DIDN'T DIE FROM A BULLET BUT HE DIED
FROM A BROKEN HEART
