At a bar. Song finishes before I can get much info. Next song is Bon Jovi to give context/ era. Song goes along lines of “Billy says he” ….tho could he Johnny, Eddie, gives 80s vibes. Fast paced at that bit. Something about a small town. Male singer. Mid voice. Not low. Have tried Shazam & Google. Help me pls

Not this. Higher pitched, faster, but telling a story like this.

Young Turks by Rod Stewart?

Brefugee · 02/07/2023 20:57

are you sure it was Billy?
It sounds like Mellencamp - Jack and Diane?

Or Billy Don't be a Hero (Paper Lace from the 70s)
