Testo Billy Jack - Philip Bailey

Testo della canzone Billy Jack (Philip Bailey), tratta dall'album Smooth Jazz Music

Just out of Monday
Running to a friend
Down the street, down the street
Where I live
(Where I live)
Sad things begin
I could feel from within
From the message, from the message
He had to give
(He had to give)
About a buddy of mine
Running out of time, he's running out of time
Somebody past noon
Shot him through the room
and now that man no longer lives
Too bad about him
Too sad about him
Don't get me wrong, the man is gone
But it's a wonder, he lived this long
Too bad about it
Too sad about it
Don't get me wrong, the man is gone
But it's a wonder, he lived this long
Up in the city, they called him Boss Jack
Down home he was an alley cat
Didn't know nothing about being black
Oh, Billy Jack
Up in the city, they called him Boss Jack
Down home he was an alley cat
Ah, didn't know nothing about being black
Oh, Billy Jack, Billy Jack
Can't be no fun, can't be no fun
To be shot, shot with a hand gun
Your body sprawled out, you without a doubt
People running out, there on the floor
(There on the floor)
Sad bloody mess
Shot up all in his chest, shot up in his chest
One-sided dual, gun and a fool
Uh, what a way to go
(What a way to go)
Too bad about it
Too sad about it
Don't get me wrong, the man is gone
But it's a wonder, he lived this long
Too bad about it
Too sad about it
Don't get me wrong, the man is gone
But it's a wonder, he lived this long
Up in the city, they called him Boss Jack
Down home he was an alley cat
Didn't know nothing about being black
Oh, Billy Jack
oh, Billy Jack
Up in the city, they call him Boss Jack
Down home, he was an alley cat
Oh, didn't know nothing about being black
Oh, Billy Jack, Billy Jack
Up in the city they call him Boss Jack
But down home, ha-ha, he was an alley cat
Didn't know nothing about being black
We call him Billy Jack
Ah, Billy Jack
Up in the city, they call him Boss Jack
Down home, he was an alley cat, Billy jack
Didn't know nothing about being black
Ah, Billy Jack, ah-ah
Billy Jack
Ah, Billy Jack
Ah, Billy Jack
(Billy Jack)
(Billy Jack)
One-sided duel, one-sided dual
Gun and a fool (mh)
What a way to go
what a way to go
