Emmylou Harris "Billy Tyler" |
(Emmylou Harris, Chas Hodges) Emmylou Harris & Albert Lee Billy's lady told him let this be understood Somethin' better happen soon things don't look to good Tired of savin' pennies tryin' to make ends meet While next Monday afternoon gonna be out in the street. Billy thought it over he said with a smile Everything will be alright just a little while Gotta get down to it pack my things and go He put on his tennis shoes walked out into the snow. Oh Billy Tyler do you remember what you said Does your conscience get you when you're lyin' in your bed? Does it make you sorry for the things that you've done? Do you feel repentance on the tip of your tongue? Did you have to grab your things and run? --- Instrumental --- She received a postcard sad for her that way Said I found myself a job here at white sand bay Sendin' you some money so that you can eat Everything will be alright soon be back on my feet. Oh Billy Tyler do you remember what you said Does your conscience get you when you're lyin' in your bed? Does it make you sorry for the things that you've done? Do you feel repentance on the tip of your tongue? Did you have to grab your things and run?... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
