Billy wasn't all but a small town kid But he loved to play his guitar And the people who saw his peakin day Would come from near and far Billy had heard the whispers saying This kid can play real good When they asked him how he did it He said it's just in my blood He played ♪ Billy'd be the first to admit He's not the sharpest tool in the shed And his teachers they would ask him If he had anything in his head It would seem that they missed the point 'Cause there was one thing they didn't know Oh he didn't know much about decimal points But he could sure put on a show ♪ Every weekday after school It's off to the local bar Through the hordes of drinkers and smokey jaws There'd be a smoking guitar Everybody knew that corner Was where Billy ran the show Just one look at his flying hands And you'd never want to go ♪ One dark night at Smokey's When Billy was on fire Out from the shadows stepped a man in black And Billy he did admire He said son when you see yourself in twenty years time It can't be in this dive I know people at the top of the tree Who can bring your careers alive ♪ Billy he went back that night And he stared staight at the stars Am I really gonna spend the rest of my life Playing tech and string low key bars So he picked up his guitar beside him And began to play like never before And the tune rang out so crisp and clear Even the stars were screaming for more ♪ Billy never once considered moving out of town He owed it to the place where the love of his music could be found The lowgrounds may be simple but simplicity is gold And Billy was the golden kid who really broke the mold So the next time you ever find yourself In a Smokey Dodge bar Would you check the darkest corner Just in case there's a smoking guitar But if you ever set your eyes on the boy Who never sold out You can bet your boots That you'll never want to go without
