Текст песни Billy n' Me (Brock Zeman) с переводом

My brother Billy and me we grew up side by side

Whenever you saw one of us out you knew the other wasn’t far behind

And when the fists would fly on main-street we were always first on the scene

Yeah, we weren’t afraid of nothing Billy and me

I came of age and grew restless and I hit out on the road

I was young and green and did not know what I was searching for

But it was clear to me if I stayed behind I’d only find discontent

And when you’re palming around in the dark it’s easy to find the devils hand

Before I left I told Billy to get out while he could

Cause one day you’ll wake and look in the mirror and see an old man staring at

you

And every time you put off something the weaker your wings will get

Till you finally find yourself holding on to a box of old regrets

Idle hands are the devils play things ain’t that what they say

Billy stayed behind only to find himself deeper everyday

He started hanging around with that Tommy Brown I always said that boy had a

forked tongue

Billy shot his future into his veins and let the devil swim into his blood

Its kinda funny I suppose

How you can never help the ones that you hold close

And all the people that you love

They’re the ones that’ll hurt you most

I found a girl and settled down 500 miles from my home

In a little shack with a river out back at the end of a county road

One day I called my mama she said she hadn’t heard from Billy in days

But no cause for worry now son you hear I just found it a little strange

Well a week passed by and I’d been working hard down at the marble mine

I didn’t worry much about Billy you know how things go sometimes

Then the phone rang that fateful morning and woke me up at dawn

And my father told me they found Billy dead with a needle sticking outta his arm

When Billy died he had nothing to his name

But fifty-three cents and a book of matches they found in an old pair of jeans

Mama asked if there was something I could bring to dress him in

I brought an old blue suit and a pair of shoes my father gave me way back when

At the funeral I whispered under my breath as they laid him down

Billy this old suit that I give you should keep you warm in the cold,

cold ground

That tie you’re wearing was our fathers and his fathers before

And those shoes on your feet should help you run from the devil and on up to

heavens door
