about
Gordon based this song on a true story of a couple buddies going out to hunt, and one of them accidentally shooting himself.
lyrics
Chris and Billy went out for the night
didn’t think twice ’bout wrong or right
Chris, said Billy, let’s shoot some pool
Billy, said Chris, that’s cool
Chris, said Billy, let's have another round
Billy, said Chris, sounds good
Chris, said Billy, let’s smoke a jay
Billy, said Chris, okay
Billy, said Chris, let’s go for a ride
Chris, said Billy, all right
get a gun get a gun, a double-barrel shotgun
and a knife get a knife, a razor sharp knife
load it up load it up in a high jacked pickup
head on out head on out to the open field
see a flash see a flash in the long tall grass
take a shot take a shot before time runs out
hear him scream hear him scream in an awful dream
out of luck out of luck, that coulda been me
I could have been a killer
I could have been a killer
I could have been a killer
but the dice rolled the other way
Chris, said Billy, I’m so stoned
Billy, said Chris, right on
Chris, said Billy, here’s your gun
Billy, said Chris, point it down
Chris, said Billy, I think I’m done
Billy, said Chris, hold on
Chris shot Billy, the sheriff said
but Billy shot Billy in his own head
chorus
Chris and Billy
out all night
they didn’t think twice
’bout wrong or right
