[Verse 1]
My name is Billy Austin
I'm twenty-nine years old
I was born in Oklahoma
A quarter Cherokee, I am told
Don't remember Oklahoma
It's been so long since I left home
Seem like I've always been in prison
Like I've always been alone
[Verse 2]
Didn't mean to hurt nobody
Never thought I'd cross that line
I held up a filling station
Like I'd done a hundred times
The kid done like I told him
And he lay face down on the floor
Guess I'll never know what made me
Turn and walk back through that door
[Verse 3]
The shot rang out like thunder
My ears rang like a bell
No one came running
So I called the cops myself
Took their time to get there
And I guess I could've run
I knew I should be feeling something
But I never shed tear one
