lyrics

Little Billy wonders, wonders, wonders
Little Billy wonders, wonders why?

Why did you leave him all alone?
Would it kill you maybe once
To someday call him on the phone?
What could he have done
To make you storm out angrily,
Abandoning your son?

And why, why does it hurt?
He'd rather that you used a belt
Instead of hurtful words
And now he and his Mom
Know that you have gone away
But they wonder for how long

Little Billy wonders, wonders, wonders
Little Billy wonders, wonders why?
Little Billy wonders, wonders, wonders
Little Billy wonders, wonders why?

Now here stands a boy!
He grew up much too fast
He never had that many toys
His Mom is poor as hell
They ate Thanksgiving dinner
At the local Taco Bell

And as the years pass by
Billy sits under a bridge
And he can't help but cry
His beard is long and white
Holding out a can of coins
As other folk pass by, singing:

Little Billy wonders, wonders, wonders
Little Billy wonders, wonders why?
Little Billy wonders, wonders, wonders
Little Billy wonders, wonders why?
