HO:MZ - Backstreets

Backstreets
Knew a boy, I called him Billy
Met him in the sad side of town
He made me laugh, feel so happy
Held my hand when I was down
Used to live across the highway
In a room with bare wood floor
Used to wave from out his window
Always kept an open door
Backstreets, born in the backstreets
Why should this life be so cruel
Backstreets, born in the backstreets
Oh Billy why did you die so soon
Used to talk of going places
Getting out and settling down
We planned to build a house together
Billy that dream won't be found
Oh Billy how that short time hurt you
Though you tried to hide the frowns
When your eyes grew tired and heavy
I just ran and cried aloud
Backstreets, born in the backstreets
Why should this life be so cruel
Backstreets, born in the backstreets
Oh Billy why did you die so soon
Why so soon
Backstreets, born in the backstreets
Why should this life be so cruel
Backstreets, born in the backstreets
Oh Billy why did you die so soon
Why so soon
Why so soon
Why so soon
Oh why so soon
