"Billy Doesn't Live Here Anymore"
            By David Mullins

Many years ago there lived a young boy
who rode his bike and played out in his yard
and he was the apple of his mom and daddy's eyes
but, Billy, he don't live here anymore.

On the day he graduated high school
he signed up to go and fight a war
Uncle Sam had called,and he was ready to go
but Billy, he don't live here anymore.

And all his friends said Billy are you crazy
Do you really know what your fighting for
but he left the world he knew ten thousand miles behind
to fight in that old crazy asian war

(spoken)
Now somewhere far away in a jungle prison
an old man looks out from his bamboo bars
and he thinks way back when he was a young boy
and he rode his bike and played in the yard

And remembers when he was a young man
and volunteered to go and fight a war
but he can't believe his country has forsaken him
But Billy, he don't live here anymore........


Thanks, David for permission to use your poem.
