Billy's lady told him-let this be understood
somethin' better happen soon cause things don't
[G/f#]
look to good---tired of savin' pennies-tryin' to
make ends meet-come next Monday afternoon-we're
gonna be out in the street
Verse 2
Billy thought it over-he said with a smile
/f#
everythings gonna be allright-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.
Chorus
Oh Billy Tyler do you remember what you said
does your conscience get you when your 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
~
(Bend)
your things and ru---n
Verse 3
She received a postcard-sad for her that way
/f#
said I found myself a job-here at whitesand bay
sendin' you some money-so that you can eat
everythings gonna be allright-soon be back on
my feet
Repeat chorus:
Fadeout on-
