Billy lights a cigarette thinkin' 
                     G 
It might do him some good 
G                         
Tammy comes over and sits right 
            C 
Down beside him 
                          G 
Cause she thinks she should 
D   
They don't know  
               C 
What they're gettin' into - 
                      G 
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
