One Light Town
[G]Billy lights a cigarette [C]thinkin'
It might do him some [G]good
[G]Tammy comes over and sits right
Down beside [C]him
Cause she thinks she shoul[G]d
[D]They don't know
What they're [C]gettin' into '
Did you think they wou[G]ld
Billy's just another boy
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
