lyrics

Chris and Billy went out for the night
didn’t think twice about 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 could’ve 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, that’s what the sheriff said
but Billy shot Billy in his own head

chorus

Chris and Billy
out all night
didn’t think twice
about wrong or right
