Billy boy counts back from ten
To see what he has left
The kids hadn't ate that day
It didn't seem like theft
But the man behind the counter
Had seen his kind before
So he fires for lord and saviour
When Billy runs for the door
And the wind, keeps blowing ever harder
And the trees, are rising from the earth
But the thought, that keeps me up at night
When the money's gone, I'll still know what I'm worth
Billy boy lies caked in blood
While shoppers stop to stare
His life won't end that day
But he'll spend it in a chair
Now the clerk gets put on sick leave
And Billy gets cut a check
Still money don’t hide the problem
He feels nothing below the neck
And the wind, keeps blowing ever harder
And the trees, are rising from the earth
But the thought, that keeps me up at night
When the money's gone, I'll still know what I'm worth
Now the kids don't treat dad quite the same
And his wives blue eyes have filled with pain
Sunny days, spent inside
Thinking he, wishing he would have died
And the wind, keeps blowing ever harder
And the trees, are rising from the earth
But the thought, that keeps me up at night
When the money's gone, I'll still know what I'm worth
