One Light Town - Jack Ingram

Billy lights a cigarette

Thinkin' that 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

He’s 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 this worn-out One Light Town?

One Light Town

Tammy looks at Billy and says

«Hey darlin', you’re my sweet»

Well Billy, he’s actin' cool

So he smirks a soft one and says

«Darlin' that’s real neat»

I think I’ll go down town and buy me a beer

And drink myself into next week

Billy rolls a crooked one

Yeah, 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, baby, nobody knows

Nobody cares, nobody gives a damn

About that little boy down in Texas

Well, the wind’s gonna start to rumble

And those tumble weeds are going to roll

Well, that’s when we’re gonna catch the next train to Boulder

We’re gonna get out and take a long look around

Gonna dream about my buddy

Gonna dream about my friend

Gonna dream about ol' Billy

Way down there, stuck down there

That One Light Town

One Light Town

One Light Town

Light that cigarette

Here she comes

Take a one light train
