Billy Jack (Custis Mayfield cover)

<br>Just out of Monday<br>Run into a friend<br>Down the street, down the street<br>Where I live<br><br>Ah! Ah! Sad things begin<br>I could feel from within<br>From the message, from the message<br>He had to give<br><br>`Bout a buddy of mine<br>Running out of time<br>Somebody past noon, shot across the room<br>And now the man no longer lives<br><br>Too bad about him<br>Too sad about him<br>Don`t get me wrong, the man is gone<br>But it`s a wonder he lived this long<br><br>Up in the city they called him Boss Jack<br>But down home he was a alley cat<br>Ah! didn`t care nothing about being black<br>Oh! Billy Jack<br><br>Can`t be no fun (can`t be no fun)<br>To be shot, shot with a hand gun<br>Body sprawled out, you without a doubt<br>Running people out, there on the floor, oh oh oh<br><br>Ah! Ah! Bad bloody bloody mess<br>Shot all up in his chest<br>One sided duel, gun and a fool<br>What a way to go<br><br>Up in the city they called him Boss Jack<br>But down home he was a alley cat<br>Ah! Didn`t care nothin` `bout being Black<br>Ah, Oh, Billy Jack<br>Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
