Outlaw bluegrass, acoustic guitar, banjo, Austra

Intro

Verse 1
Seven in the morning by the shearing shed
You patched a worn bridle and shook your sore head
Told me never climb upon the timber fence
Said those reckless boys would never show good sense
You took off down the gravel on a red dirt track
And swore you would starve before you turned on back
I stood alone beside the washing line
Knowing your wild young heart was cut from mine

Verse 2
Found your folding pocket knife around the camp
Beside the kerosene and broken lamp
Remember how we hunted down along the creek
Sitting in the quiet with no need to speak
You pulled me up whenever I would hit the dirt
Wiped off the scraped red clay against your shirt
Now you haul the cattle down an endless road
Taking on your shoulders such a heavy load

Chorus
Billy where do you turn to go
Straight to the only truth you know
How far into the dust you roam
You always have a door back home

Instrumental Break

Verse 3
A drover saw you drinking at a mining bar
Sleeping on the bench inside a beaten car
I keep the latch unbolted on the front yard gate
In case your headlights flicker when the hour is late
I do not care about a single dollar pay
Or whatever went wrong before you rode away
Tie your muddy gelding to the boundary wire
Kick off your heavy boots beside the fire

Chorus
Billy where do you turn to go
Straight to the only truth you know
How far into the dust you roam
You always have a door back home

Outro
No matter where you choose to roam
Your sister keeps a light at home
