LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
With this silver buckle and that rodeo money win
Itāll help Tammy-Sue and me get ready for the twins
I called her from the bar to tell her what I had won
She told me something happened and itās really, really bad!
[Pre-Chorus]
Billy-Jo was a-walkinā and just a-messingā all-round town
When a truck came round a corner and knocked him to the ground
He lay there for a while till your brother found him lyingā there
He was bleedinā, barely movinā, so he rushed him in for care.
You better come home fast, to see him while you can
Things, they donāt look good, heās really in a jam
[Chorus]
Billy Joās my best friend, heās hurt I gotta go
I put that chevy truck in first., and listened to her blow
This speed feels like Iām flyinā, canāt even see the road
Just past the Yella River now Iām in my own zip code
Just 50 miles to travel to see him layinā there
Just drove by Big D Holler, my mind is in full prayer
[Verse 2]
My thoughts go to memories of us growinā up together
Out walkinā in the fields and stuff no matter what the weather
Youād run me down then knock me over till both of us were done
Didnāt matter in the end which one of us had won
[Pre-Chorus]
Iām thinkinā ābout that time we both got caught for stealinā,
We never thanked that grocery man for never, ever squealinā
Iām only thinking good things as Iām driving to your side
This truck is movinā faster now Iām really pushing my ride
Tears were a-coming as Iām thinking of the worst
But now Iām very positive but Iām thinking I might curse
[Chorus]
Billy Joās my best friend heās hurt I gotta go
I put that chevy truck in first and listened to her blow
This speed feels like Iām flying canāt even see the road
Well past the Yella River now Iām still in my zipcode
Just 2 more miles to travel to see him laying there
Just drove by Melās Dairy but my mindās still in full prayer
[Verse 3]
Main Street is just ahead and I see my destination
I slid the truck onto the drive I need no inspiration
The hospital door flung open and I ran way down the hall
Looking for some answers I yelled out a shattering call
[Pre-Chorus]
What room is Billy-Jo in I need to see him now?
Someone shouted room 2 but the sign said āDonāt Allowā
Pushed my way into the room saw Billy-Jo not moving
My minds a-flashing fast and it looks like heās not winning
I leaned over Billy-Jo and whispered in his ear
Put my hand upon his head just to let him know Iām here
[Chorus]
Billy Joās my best friend heās hurt I had to show
I put that chevy truck in first and listened to her blow
I sped like I was flying couldnāt even see the road
I could see my destination and it felt like Iād explode
No more miles to travel to see him laying down here
My mind is now a-racing and Iām facing some despair
[Verse 4]
The Doc came in and touched his head and said ānow itās up to himā
āThe next few hours will tell the tale but now itās looking dimā
I waited there for hours and hours my hand upon his head
Then suddenly I felt a move that was coming from the bed
[Pre-Chorus]
His foot was moving slightly and his breathing seem to better
One eye opened then the other then they opened both together
Billy-Joās head lifted so slightly and he gently licked my arm
I knew right then he was back and for sure was out of harm
The one thing Iāll remember from all of this emotion
That this dog is my best friend and will always have my devotion.
[Chorus]
Billy Joās my best friend heās hurt I had to show
I put that chevy truck in first and listened to her blow
I sped like I was flying couldnāt even see the road
I found my destination and it felt like Iād explode
Iām crying now, Iām shaking now from all of this emotion
My dog is my best friend and will always get devotion
[Outro]
I love you Billy-Jo
