One Light Town

Billy lights a cigarette thinkin' It might do him some good Tammy comes over and sits right Down beside him Cause she thinks she should They don't know What they're gettin' into - Did you think they would Billy's just another boy From the other side of the tracks He's got his eye on a pretty little Girl but he's not so sure that She will lay down Will she put up a fight like all the Rest in that worn out One light town Tammy looks at Billy and says "Hey Darlin', you're my sweet." Billy, he's actin' cool so he smirks a Soft one and says "Darlin' that's real neat. I think I'll go downtown and buy Me a beer and drink myself into Next week." Billy rolls a crooked one He's gonna smoke it And see where he can go He's gonna lie out In an open field and he don't give a Damn about the rain, the sleet Or the snow He's gonna leave this town behind Him, where he lands nobody knows The wind is gonna start to rumble And those tumble weeds - They're gonna roll That's when we're gonna catch the Next train to Boulder Get out and take a long look Around We're gonna dream about ol' Billy Stuck down there in that One Light Town
