Billy's leavin' today, don't know where he's goin' Holds his head in disgrace, he can't escape the truth He knows the price that he's paid, He admits that it's too late to admit that he's afraid  

Tomorrow comes, sorrow becomes his soul mate The damage is done, the prodigal son is too late
Oh door's closed, but he's always open
'Til he'll have time in his mind, oh billy
