Billy Paul
What made you go crazy, Billy Paul?
Was it true love or too much alcohol?
Was your back all the way against the wall?
What made you go crazy, Billy Paul?
You were my friend for nearly 20 years
You loved my dirty jokes and ice cold beer
Tonight my eyes are filling up with tears
'Cause it'll never be the same without you here
When your picture came across the evening news
Said they'd found a woman dead up in your room
I hit my knees and prayed it wasn't true
Man it killed me, when I found out it was you
What made you go crazy, Billy Paul?
Was it true love or too much alcohol?
Was your back all the way against the wall?
What made you go crazy, Billy Paul?
I've seen you at your best and now your worst
The best of you is what I'll remember first
We'll read your momma's favorite Bible verse
And then watch you ride away in that old hearse
Well I know you're ashamed for what you done
The only choice you thought you had was just to run
Pride always gets the best of everyone
True forgiveness lies with the Father and the Son
What made you go crazy, Billy Paul?
Did you think you couldn't face those prison walls?
Why'd you have to go and end it all?
What made you go crazy, Billy Paul?
What made you go crazy, Billy Paul?
Was it true love or too much alcohol?
Was your back all the way against the wall?
What made you go crazy, Billy Paul?
Was it true love or too much alcohol?
Was your back all the way against the wall?
What made you go crazy, Billy Paul?
You were my friend for nearly 20 years
You loved my dirty jokes and ice cold beer
Tonight my eyes are filling up with tears
'Cause it'll never be the same without you here
When your picture came across the evening news
Said they'd found a woman dead up in your room
I hit my knees and prayed it wasn't true
Man it killed me, when I found out it was you
What made you go crazy, Billy Paul?
Was it true love or too much alcohol?
Was your back all the way against the wall?
What made you go crazy, Billy Paul?
I've seen you at your best and now your worst
The best of you is what I'll remember first
We'll read your momma's favorite Bible verse
And then watch you ride away in that old hearse
Well I know you're ashamed for what you done
The only choice you thought you had was just to run
Pride always gets the best of everyone
True forgiveness lies with the Father and the Son
What made you go crazy, Billy Paul?
Did you think you couldn't face those prison walls?
Why'd you have to go and end it all?
What made you go crazy, Billy Paul?
What made you go crazy, Billy Paul?
Was it true love or too much alcohol?
Was your back all the way against the wall?
What made you go crazy, Billy Paul?
