cheap rodeo – billy’s got my back lyrics
i remember that september morning
not nine eleven
this was way before then
was my first day in a new school
seems like yesterday i was almost ten
my family just moved down to tennessee
dad had a new job
and three mouths to feed
i was walking home alone that day
some punks knocked me down
and then they beat on me
well someone came out swinging
this kid he showed no fear
he had those cowards on the run
billy said let’s get out of here
that was the first time billy got my back
we were like brothers right off the bat
was a lucky guy cause of that
cause billy’s got my back
the years flew by and before i knew it
it was time for my senior ball
i hung up that phone at least ten times
i was shaking when i made that call
her name was pamela jayne
the most beautiful girl in school
she thought my being shy was cute
so she said yeah i’ll go with you
we threw a rod in my old trans-am
miles from the nearest phone
when it looked like
we were gonna miss that dance
billy found us on decker road
billy got my back once more
like he’s done so many times before
i’ll remember those days forever
that’s what friends like billy are for
since that first time billy got my back
we were like brothers right off the bat
i was a luck guy cause of that
cause billy’s got my back
then came that other september morn
our country would never be the same
i felt so proud in my uniform
as me and billy and got on that plane
we fought them hard in that desert h-ll
some gave all that they could give
billy threw himself
on a live grenade
he died so we could live
billy got my back again
i can’t even count the times
my guardian angel riding shotgun
all those years since i was nine
i know billy’s watching over me
just like he’s always done
i can feel him in the gentle rain
and in the springtime sun
since the first time billy got my back
we were like brothers right off the bat
i’m a lucky guy cause of that
cause billy’s got my back
