Billy's leavin' today, don't know where he's goin'   Holds his head in disgrace, he can't escape the truth   He knows the price that he's paid,   He admits that it's too late to admit that he's afraid      Tomorrow comes, sorrow becomes his soul mate   The damage is done, the prodigal son is too late   Oh door's closed, but he's always open   'Til he'll have time in his mind, oh billy      Billy's leavin' today, don't know where he's goin'   He's got lines on his face that tell a story of his pain   He accepts it's his fate,   He admits it took too long to admit that he was wrong      Tomorrow comes, sorrow becomes his soul mate   The damage is done, the prodigal son is too late   Oh door's closed, but he's always open   'Til he'll have time in his mind, oh billy      Once he was a lover sleepin' with another,   Now he's just known as a cheat   And he wished he had a mirror looked a little clearer   Seen to the eyes of the weak      Yeah, once he was a lover sleepin' with another,   Now he's just known as a cheat   And he wished he had a mirror looked a little clearer   Seen to the eyes of the weak      Tomorrow comes, sorrow becomes his soul mate   The damage is done, the prodigal son is too late (too late)   Oh door's closed, but he's always open   'Til he'll have time in his mind, oh billy      Oh billy
