B.J. Thomas - Billy & Sue Lyrics

Send Billy & 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
