Vince Gill - Billy Paul lyrics

[Chorus] 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 twenty 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 cam across the evening news Said they found a woman dead up in your room Well I hit my knees and prayed it wasn't true Man it k**ed me when I found out it was you [Repeat Chorus] Now 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? [Repeat Chorus]
