about

A real life story about a normal hard-working bloke.

lyrics

Billy

Billy Horsley never picked a fight
But it seemed that he’d been fighting all his life
Billy Horsley was no hard man
Just been dealt the devil’s card and
It felt like he would never see the light

Billy Horsley battled every day
Just to deal with all the crap they threw his way
Billy, head down kept on grafting
And it seemed so ever lasting
For that pittance that they called his weekly pay


Chorus:
Billy let your fire burn
For everything you yearn
Keep your desires in your sights each day
It’s a hard but worthy fight
When you know your way is right
And never be afraid to have your say

Billy Horsley had a will of steel
But was never known to get an easy deal
Billy called himself a fair man
He always was prepared and
One day he’d find a show that he could steal

Billy Horsley never sang God’s song
But he always did believe in right and wrong
Billy said “hey I’m no preacher
But don’t let them fucks defeat you,
One day a better life will come along”
