E      A             B          E
  Billy,we've come along way together

A        B       G#m
  And through it all

             A                      B
You've been just like a brother to me

E          A                B               E
  And Billy,we've had our share of ups and downs

A            B                      G#m
  Froze our tails sleeping on the ground

          A                        B
When the jobs were few and far between
[Chorus 1]
B              E                          A
  We've been knocking around together so long

 B                     E
Singing them same old songs

                         A       F#m          B
Been out in the rain so long,i swear we're shrinking
[Verse 2]
E      A          B               E
  Billy,lately i have done some thinking

A         B                G#m
  When i look back on our lives

A                           B
   We've sure had ourself a time

          E A             B                E
But you know,it's been a wild world we traveled

A            B            G#m 
  And it's starting to unravel

A                                B
  We leave so many loose ends behind
[Chorus 2]
B             E                             A
   We've been bucked off and kicked so many times

          B                        E
And the ground just keeps getting harder

                       A         F#m          B
Billy,you know well as i,we ain't getting no younger
[Verse 3]
E      A          B                E
  Billy,another summer's come and gone

A           B            G#m
   Now with winter coming on

    A                         B
I know we planned on heading south

    E   A            B               E
But Billy,i thought about it several days

A            B                 G#m
  And these words i'm about to say

A                              B
  They don't taste good in my mouth
[Chorus 3]
B              E                          A
   But there's someone who's waiting back home

 B                    E
Lord,if she'll still have me

                        A   F#m           B
Guess i'll be saying so long,you go on without me
[Outro]
B          F#m                     B
   Ain't no easy way of saying goodbye

       F#m                           B           C#m
So be sure and tell 'em all down in Texas,i said Hi
