Texas Billie

Blue Billie swore shed never lose the bet with her life
She packed her bags at twenty, left her memories behind
Though were the memories of a girl that usually smiled
But now theres wrinkles round Blue Billies eyes
She can afford now just a grown-old sight
Blue Billie joined the band playing night over night
Found people in the clubs tear their dreams all apart
When money came the stage became her paradise
She left her boy just to become a star
So she busted out of that misery
Her old piano gave her everything she needed
But success erased her hometown with a blow
Thought of having found the right place to call home
In the audience applause

Cant you feel a little cold around?
Slammed the door in front of past and now?
Cant you feel a little empty around?
If you cant buy with all your money one new home

Blue Billie hid her shyness behind sunglasses too black
Forgot how good itd been watching skies right on face
Hearing the echoing words from the valley below
Swearing to Tom Ill never let you go
Waiting for better days and finding them already gone
So she realized the place shes coming from
Could never be replaced by any citys smoke
And her piano let her go

Cant you feel a little cold around?
Slammed the door in front of past and now?
Cant you feel a little empty round?
If you cant buy with all your money one new hometown

Blue Billie married Tom in 1989
Shes got a little boy,maybe hell play the guitar
At night she stands upon her own windowsill
She still can hear that piano on the cliff as she turns away
