Version 1 of the lyrics

  Billy Dee was seventeen when he turned twenty-one  Billy Dee was seventeen when he turned twenty-one
1  Fooling with some foolish things he could've left alone   fooling with some foolish things he could've left alone 1
2  But he had to try to satisfy a thirst he couldn't name   but he had to try to satisfy a thirst he couldn't name 2
3  Driven towards the darkness by the devil in his veins   driven towards the darkness by the devil in his veins 3
4                                                              all around the honky tonks, searching for a sign 4
5  All around the honky tonks, searching for a sign         gettin' by on gettin' high on women, words and wine 5
6  Gettin' by on gettin' high on women, words and wine                      some folks called him crazy, Lord,                and others called him free 6
7  Some folks       called him crazy, Lord, and others called him free   but we just called us lucky for the love of Billy Dee 7
1  But we just called us lucky for the love of Billy Dee   1
      
  Busy goin' his own way and speakin' his own words  Busy goin' his own way and speakin' his own words
8  Facin' and forgettin' every warnin' that he heard   facin' and forgettin' every warnin' that he heard 8
9  Makin' friends and takin' any crazy chance he could   makin' friends and takin' any crazy chance he could 9
10  Gettin' busted for the bad times and believin' in the good   gettin' busted for the bad times and believin' in the good 10
2   2
  Billy took a beatin' from a world he meant no harm  Billy took a beatin' from a world he meant no harm
11  The score was written in the scars up on his arm   the score was written in the scars up on his arm 11
12  Some felt he was payin' for the life he tried to lead   some felt he was payin' for the life he tried to lead 12
13  But all we felt was sorry for our good friend Billy Dee   but all we felt was sorry for our good friend Billy Dee 13
      
  It may be his soul was bigger than a body's oughta be  It may be his soul was bigger than a body's oughta be
14  Singin' songs and bringin' laughter to the likes of you and me   singin' songs and bringin' laughter to the likes of you and me 14
15  'Cause the world he saw was sadder than the one he hoped to find   cause the world he saw was sadder than the one he hoped to find 15
16  But it wasn't near as lonesome as the one he left behind   but it wasn't near as lonesome as the one he left behind 16
17                                                                 yesterday they found him on the floor of his hotel 17
18  Yesterday they found him on the floor of his hotel                        reachin' towards                 the needle, Lord, that drove him down to hell 18
19  Reachin' towards                                      the needle, Lord, that drove him down to hell   some folks called it suicide, others blame the speed                                          19
20  Some folks      called it suicide, others blame the speed   but we all called it crucified when Billy Dee O.D.'d 20
3  We just called it crucified when Billy Dee O.D.   3
