Billy & Sue B.J. Thomas

This is a story about Billy and Sue
They were as in love as were any two
And then Billy had to die
And when you hear the reason why
You'll hang your head and cry

Billy and Sue met the first day of school
And ever since lived by the golden rule
Because when you do unto others
What you wouldn't want done to you
You'd have to be a fool

This mutual agreement of love and trust
Made them travel the road to marriage or bust
And when Billy was old enough to take a wife
He was old enough to fight for his country and his way of life

Sue's letters came every day
Strengthened his cause, they showed him the way
To fight for his country and the girl he loves
That's a soldier's only pay

But then billy heard no more from Sue
He was worried sick but what could he do
The bullets were screamin' as he hugged the ground and back
Home Sue was runnin' round
