Lyrics:
Dennis and Billy from up by Champlin Been friends since forever, first day of first grade Played football together, won some pretty big games Dennis and Billy from up by Champlin After graduation, Dennis enlisted Billy was taken by bitter surprise Dennis said he didn't have any other answers Didn't want to be stuck in this town his whole life The night before he left they went way out on some wine Billy asked Dennis if he was scared he's gonna die Dennis said everybody dies at some time Neither of them said a thing for a while Billy stayed home and took on a trade Went for the handle, got bit by the blade There were hospital bills There was pain, there were pills The pain went away, but the pills they just stayed The way it washed over, it was warm like the sunshine Billy felt filled up with the bright shining lights Just for a moment, he wasn't anxious or nervous And Dennis was somewhere still stuck in the service Dennis wasn't much for sending off letters Billy wasn't either so they weren't much in touch Dennis came back to see his sick mother Billy's on the corner like he's waiting on a bus Later on that evening, in a tavern barely talking Billy said "Dennis, man you're lucky you left" Dennis started saying something then he reconsidered He looked down in his beer and he slowly shook his head And he said "I've been out there fighting You've been hanging round here dying It might be ironic but it's not a good joke These vics and oxy-contins, this whole town is stuck on something That's pretty much why I hate coming home" The night before he left, he watched Billy getting high Dennis asked Billy if he was scared he's gonna die Billy said everybody dies at some time Neither of them said a thing for a while Neither of them said a thing for a while
