Текст песни
Billy lights a cigarette
Thinking that it might do him some good
Tammy comes over and sits right down beside him
Because she thinks she should
They don't know what they're getting 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"
Billy he's acting cool, so he smirks a soft one
Says, "Darlin', that's real neat
Think I'll go downtown 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
And where he lands, baby, nobody knows
Nobody cares
Nobody gives a damn about that little boy down in Texas
When the wind's gonna start to rumble
And those tumbleweeds are going to roll
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 buddies
Gonna dream about my friends
Gonna dream about old Billy way down there
He's stuck down there in that one light town
One light town
One light town
