Billy and the kids

Nothing looks as bad
After staying up all night
And the cruel words that cut you down
I never meant to write
And what came out as anger
Oh was a lack of self control
Billy won´t you hold me
Once before you go
Clever lies keep coming
Some men never change
I´m a hand that´s raised in anger
The blow that causes pain
But I just can´t be trusted
with a bottle and a child
Billy it´s no wonder
You say I´ve never tried
Oh so leave me now
Oh don´t turn around
It´s the best thing you ever did
But it´s hard for me to say goodbye
To Billy and the kids
After staying up all night
And the cruel words that cut you down
I never meant to write
And what came out as anger
Oh was a lack of self control
Billy won´t you hold me
Once before you go
Clever lies keep coming
Some men never change
I´m a hand that´s raised in anger
The blow that causes pain
But I just can´t be trusted
with a bottle and a child
Billy it´s no wonder
You say I´ve never tried
Oh so leave me now
Oh don´t turn around
It´s the best thing you ever did
But it´s hard for me to say goodbye
To Billy and the kids
