Another Tuesday night In the rain Another day gone by They look all the same
I wake up in the morning It's another day Put a dress for you to see And I'll turn the other way
While the rain keeps falling Blue birds won't fly But the tears will fall and the wind will blow And I'll keep asking why
I can't find an answer Or another way To understand the debt that I owe That I continue to pay
So I'll tell you I don't love you And I'll tell you I don't care And I'll tell you I don't need you And I hope you're not standing there And I'll tell you all those things And I'll make 'em sound sincere 'Cuz all I really want Is to have you near
All the good books tell me All the good books say Pick yourself off the ground boy It's another day
I look at them and wonder I wonder if they knew How it is to love someone Who's not in love with you
So I'll tell you that I love you And I'll tell you that I care And I'll tell you that I need you And I hope you're standing there And I'll say all those things And I'll make 'em sound sincere 'Cuz all I really want Is to have you near
So I'll tell you that I love you And I'll tell you that I care And I'll tell you that I need you And I hope you're standing there And I'll say all those things And I'll know that they're sincere 'Cuz all I really want Is to have you near.

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
Where in hell did you go You left us all alone I wasn't even eighteen You never turned around Like some kid out on the run You headed for the fun down in Biloxi And the Gulf of Mexico
[Chorus] Where I guess the girls they're pretty And nobody says it's late And you can stay out all night long and never have hell to pay Down in Biloxi Even when you're forty-one Just forget your problems Down in Biloxi
And you only came around To take a rest and come down from Biloxi But you were not the same Pretending that you cared Pretending you were there and not in Biloxi And the Gulf of Mexico
[Chorus]
Did you really think you'd find More than you left behind back home in Houston We all felt the loss I don't mean to bring you down But I wonder what you found there in Biloxi Tell me, was it worth the cost
Well I hope the girls were pretty And nobody said it was late And I hope you stayed out all night long and never had hell to pay Down in Biloxi When you were forty-one You just forgot your problems Down in Biloxi.
We've got to fight just to find something to talk about 'Coz it ain't right that we've got nothing to say I always thought I could run, now I'm under the gun And I fight just to find something to say
It used to be we could walk around in silence But you could see things were good But now the pain of what ain't said well it's gone to my head 'Cause anyone can see things ain't good
'Cause I ain't saying there ain't no more love here It's just that I fear something's wrong Can't you see that I'm doing the best I can now To figure out how we can get along
So we've got to fight just to find something to talk about
Well I ain't saying there ain't no more love here It's just that I fear somethings wrong Can't you see that I'm doing the best I can now To figure out how we can get along
We've got to fight just to find something to talk about 'Cause it ain't right that we've got nothing to say I always thought I could run now I'm under the gun And I fight just to find something to say
Yeah, I always thought I could run Now I'm under the gun And I fight just to find something I say
If I close my eyes a while Maybe I'd see through Yeah I'd see through the miles That won't keep me from you And an arms length away Is to far of a place Yeah maybe what you need Is to be my saving grace
[Chorus] And I would if I could And I want you to know If you ask I would give You better believe I would
Yeah well they say nothing lasts But I don't believe that's true And I would do my best Just make this good for you
[Chorus]
I bet you'd be amazed If I shut my mouth And just listened to you say That you're letting me stick around
[Chorus]
Yeah I would if I could And I want you to know If you ask I would give You better believe I would Yeah you better believe I would Yeah you better believe I would
I see you looking and I know what you think You're getting braver with every drink but I am telling you something you need outta know
She may look like a sweet young thing Talking to him but she ain't hearing a thing If you were smart you'd turn around and let her go
That girl's a Barbie doll A Barbie doll She's real good-looking but she's got no heart at all
She puts on her makeup and drives to the bar in her Boyfriend's old man's brand-new car She got no idea what she does or why
She does whatever she wants I guess Whatever comes first, whatever looks best Nobody I know has ever seen her cry
She's a barbie doll Ya a barbie doll Ya she's real good looking but she's got no heart at all She's a barbie doll Ya a Barbie doll Ya she's real good looking but she's got no heart at all
You should have seen her last Saturday night She had a friend of mine treating her right She was hanging on him until she found a better deal
You should have seen how cold she got My buddy asked why and she said why not Nobody I know swears she's even real
Ya she's a barbie doll ya she's a barbie doll Ya she's real good looking but she's got no heart at all Ya she's a barbie doll Ya a barbie doll Ya she's real good looking but she's got no heart at all
Ya she's a barbie doll A barbie doll Ya she's real good looking, she ain't got no heart.
Don't you ever get tired of the noise Don't you ever get bored with the crowd If they have so much to say Would they have to talk so loud Why don't we get out of here 'Cause I want to whisper in your ear
[Chorus] Hey you Are you listening to me I've got to tell you what you mean to me You're the one I want to tell my secrets to Hey you
There's some things I need to say There's some things we've got to talk about I've got to have your full attention I don't want to have to shout Even though you're right here near me Well I wonder if you ever hear me
[Chorus]
Hey you Hey you
Everybody's just dyin' to be heard Everybody they want to know why Everybody's got to have the last word And it's always got to be goodbye Why don't we get out of here 'Cause I want to whisper in your ear
I come home now my woman says to me There’s got to be somewhere I’d rather be She left me staring at an open door Now I’m so broken I couldn’t walk the floor
You get a little bit of hugging, you get a whole lot of pain You get a little bit of sunshine, you get a whole lot of rain And a whole lot of heartache, For just a little good time Anymore good loving, will drive me out of my mind
If I was any kind of man now I’d go downtown I’d find me a sweet thing she wouldn’t run me round But every woman I ever knew You give her an inch, man and all you get’s the blues
Inna came from Mexico She tried to find a job She figured she'd work on rich girl's nails That couldn't be so hard
Inna's got a twelve year old And she dies inside She can't clear the picture from her eyes Of leaving that little girl behind
But she's gonna find a daddy here And her little girl's gonna come here too But just like every other dream so far She knows that one probably won't come true
And you can see it in her smile looking at her eyes Yeah, that's right, she keeps her smile when she's about to cry And I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith And Inna's friends back home, think she's got it made
So every week she sends some money home She says things here going well She doesn't let the tears touch the page And stain the letter all to hell
I met Inna at a grocery store We were waiting in line I asked her who the Barbie doll was for You'd thought that I had asked her who died
So I started to apologize Man, I was just trying to kill some time But I still can't get Inna from my mind But I will never look behind
'Cause I can see it in her smile looking at her eyes Yeah, that's right, she keeps her smile when she's about to cry And I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith And Inna's friend's back home, think she's got it made
Yes, I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith Inna's friend's back home, they think she's got it made
Well I don't give a damn that your car's on fire It ain't none of my concern I don't really care if you think I'm a lier I know it's just because your getting burned That ain't none of my concern 'Cause I'm watchin' your mustang burn
And I know what your thinkin' man your heart is sinking Your cars going up in flames And it's driving you crazy just thinking hey maybe That someone like me is to blame
But that ain't none of my concern 'Cause I'm watchin your mustang burn No it ain't none of my concern 'Cause I'm watchin your mustang burn
Well she was a vision perfect dimensions Of what you thought true love would be And she looked so good You were under her hood
While your girlfriend was smiling at me What'd you expect me to do? I ain't got no ties to you And it ain't none of my concern
'Cause I'm watchin your mustang burn I said it ain't none of my concern Because I'm watchin your mustang burn
Well, I know that you'll see her before I do 'Cause she told me I never would again But I've got to get a message to her somehow So I'm asking you this favor as a friend
If you see Juanita ask her for me Why she's holding on to something that I need If you see Juanita ask her nicely Won't she please bring back my heart to me
She can keep all my Willie Nelson records She can have my velvet poster of the king She can keep almost everything she's taken 'Cause I all I really want is just one thing
If you see Juanita ask her for me Why she's holding on that something that I need If you see Juanita ask her nicely Won't she please bring back my heart to me
If you see Juanita ask her for me Why she's holding on that something that I need If you see Juanita ask her nicely Won't she please bring back my heart to me
