Billy and Beau

[Verse 1]
Dakota farmland, tabletop flat, is where Billy and I grew up at
Billy was my friend since we were ten, so I guess I never thought about it much back then
That we both looked up to this farm boy, Beau, tall and strong from shoveling show
And baling hay, his big blue eyes are clear and bright as the prairie sky

[Chorus]
The heart wants to go where the heart wants to go and you can’t undo it
Billy never told me so but I just knew it
Billy loved Beau

[Verse 2]
Well, Beau won best goat at the 4H fair, and I went to statе for my pie with pears
For raising a pig Billy won something too, and wе all got to go on a trip to the zoo
And Beau and Billy, they laughed and laughed the whole way there and the whole way back
Billy put his arm around his bud and said "Beau, I sure had fun"

[Chorus]
The heart wants to go where the heart wants to go and you can’t undo it
Billy never told me so but I just knew it
Billy loved Beau

[Verse 3]
Right out of school Billy just packed everything in his pickup and never came back
Full scholarship in Chicago, made a lot of himself since twenty years ago
We haven’t seen hyde nor hair of Beau; last we heard he’s still with the rodeo
He never got married, heard through the grapevine, but he broke a lot of hearts including Billy’s and mine

[Chorus]
The heart wants to go where the heart wants to go and you can’t undo it
Bill never told me so but I just knew it
The heart wants to go where the heart wants to go and you can’t undo it
Bill never told me so but I just knew it
Billy loved Beau
