I remember William, we weren't much more than kids His family lived in a run down shack, like the rest of the white trash did. Now me n ole William used to smoke out by the barn 'till his daddy caught him stealin' cigarettes I still think he broke Williams arm chorus Yea William, you grew up hard and mean you weren't the apple of your mammas eye and your daddy was a burned out fiend for what it's worth now William I know you coulda had a heart of gold I don't think you ever knew that you had one I don't think you were ever told. When I was drinkin' my first beer ole William was gettin' high He got kicked outta school for fightin' and drugs and he stayed out late at night
The last time I seen William he was married and had two kids he tried to raise 'em like he was supposed to but sometimes he raised 'em like his daddy did chorus Yea William, you grew up hard and mean you weren't the apple of your mamma's eye and your daddy was a burned out fiend for what it's worth now William I know you coulda had a heart of gold I don't think you ever knew that you had one I don't think you were ever told. Just last Sunday mornin' mamma called me on the phone said there's a story in the paper about William she just thought I might like to know He got shot by a city cop while he was robbin' a local drug store he was survived by two hungry kids a wife and a pool of blood on the floor chorus
