Jack Ingram - One Light Town guitar chord

Jack Ingram

One Light Town

G C

Billy lights a cigarette thinkin’

G

It might do him some good

G

Tammy comes over and sits right

C

Down beside him

G

Cause she thinks she should

D

They don’t know

C

What they’re gettin’ into –

G

Did you think they would

Billy’s just another boy

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 that worn out

One light town

Tammy looks at Billy and says

“Hey Darlin’, you’re my sweet.”

Billy, he’s actin’ cool so he smirks a

Soft one and says

“Darlin’ that’s real neat.

I think I’ll go downtown and buy

Me a beer and drink myself into

Next week.”

Billy rolls a crooked one

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 nobody knows

The wind is gonna start to rumble

And those tumble weeds –

They’re gonna roll

That’s when we’re gonna catch the

Next train to Boulder

Get out and take a long look

Around

We’re gonna dream about ol’ Billy

Stuck down there in that

One Light Town
