Lack Of Limits - Billy The Rover lyrics

rate me

Billy was a rover who was ridin' on a horse of steel

He was living wild and fast in a little town by the hills

He was living wild and fast his free Life of a rover

The barkeeper was the man' s best friend

He was spending all his money on whiskey and beer

He was drinking and dancing his troubles away.

In 1969 his government said "com' on, son!

You have to say farewell 'cause there' s work to be

Done!"

So Billy got a tin hat and Billy got a gun

And they sent him far, far away

And Billy said "so long and farewell" to his friends

And he never would be seen again.

In December he was coming back to his hometown

Thank god that no one there was waiting for him

'Cause he lost an arm an he lost a leg back on the

Battlefield

And he humped the street along.

He was living wild and fast...
