[Intro]
Old town roads, quiet streets, memories running deep
Billy Joe, your shadow lingers, in my heart you keep
[Verse 1]
From Waverly streets to the candy bars, those simple days
You'd pick me up, we'd talk for hours, in so many ways
At Sue-Gal’s house, I found a friend, a fleeting light
But darkness crept in, shadows stretched, stole my quiet night
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, Billy Joe, I remember your words, soft and kind
Guiding me through the storm, in a world so unkind
[Chorus]
Billy Joe, I’m here, just me, in the silence and the rain
Loving you from afar, carrying the pain
Your memory’s a lullaby, a whisper in my soul
Old times, sweet and bittersweet, make me whole
[Verse 2]
Rides to Hunt-out-Doors and Texico, your voice echoed clear
Taught me to stay strong, to face my fears, my tears
Life dealt its cards, dark days, shadows around
But your words, like a beacon, kept me safe and sound
[Pre-Chorus]
Billy Joe, the stories shared, the hopes, the fears
Echo through the years, through the tears
[Chorus]
Billy Joe, I’m here, just me, in the silence and the rain
Loving you from afar, carrying the pain
Your memory’s a lullaby, a whisper in my soul
Old times, sweet and bittersweet, make me whole
[Bridge]
Lost in the dark, searching for the light
Your love, a flicker in the night
No matter where I roam or how far I stray
Billy Joe, in my heart, you stay
[Outro]
So here I stand, love unspoken, yet so true
Billy Joe, I love you, through and through
Though time has passed, your spirit’s never gone
In my memories, I hold on and carry on
