BILLY'S STANDIN' OUT
BY A WEST TEXAS
HIGHWAY
WITH HIS THUMB
IN THE MORNING AIR
HE SPENT EIGHTEEN
SUMMERS
IN THE DUST OF O'DESSA
NEVER GETTIN'
NOWHERE
BUT HE'S GOT HIM
A MISPELLED
CARDBOARD
OF ALBEQUERQUE
STANDIN' IN THE
BREAKDOWN LINE
HE AIN'T LOOKIN'
FOR A RIDE
SO MUCH AS
HE'S LOOKIN' FOR A
CHANGE
A LITTLE SOMETHIN'
DIFFERENT
FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD
YEAH A CHANGE
EVEN FOR THE WORSE
WOULD BE BETTER
SOMEHOW
SOMETIMES
YOU JUST CROSS
THAT LINE
WHERE EVERYTHING
IS MORE OF THE SAME
WHEN IT'S DO OR DIE
STEP ASIDE
TURN THE TIDE
SOMETHIN'S GOTTA
CHANGE
4 BAR
BREAK
NOW BETTY'S
WALKIN' OUT OF
A TATTOO PARLOR
SHE'S GOT CURLERS
IN HER HAIR
SHE STILL CAN'T BELIEVE
SHE HAD A LITTLE
RED ROSE
PUT RIGHT ON HER
DERRIERE
AND SHE'S STILL
GOT TO PICK UP THAT
RED LACE TEDDY
AND A BOTTLE OF
PINK CHAMPAGNE
WELL HER HUSBAND
DON'T KNOW IT
BUT TONIGHT
WELL HE'S IN FOR A
A CHANGE
A LITTLE SOMETHING
DIFFERENT
FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD
YEAH A CHANGE
EVEN FOR THE WORSE
WOULD BE BETTER
SOMEHOW
SOMETIMES
YOU JUST CROSS
THAT LINE
WHERE EVERYTHING
IS MORE OF THE SAME
WHEN IT'S DO OR DIE
STEP ASIDE
TURN THE TIDE
SOMETHIN'S GOTTA
CHANGE
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
NOW WHO OF US
HASN'T BEEN
HEADIN' HOME FRIDAY
SITTIN' AT SOME
TRAFFIC LIGHT
WONDERIN'
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
IF WE HUNG A LEFT
INSTEAD OF TAKIN' THAT
FAITHFUL OLD RIGHT
IT'S THE HUMAN
CONDITION
PART OF US A WISHES
THAT A LIFE WOULDN'T
GET SO TIGHT
AND WE ALL KNOW
BETTER THAN THINKIN'
THAT'S EVER GONNA
CHANGE A LITTLE
SOMETHING DIFFERENT
FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD
YEAH
A CHANGE
EVEN FOR THE WORSE
WOULD BE BETTER
SOMEHOW
LOOKIN' FOR A CHANGE
YEAH A CHANGE
LOOKIN' FOR A CHANGE
