Greg Wells - Billy Brown lyrics

Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life Two kids, a dog and a cautionary wife While it was all going accordingly to plan Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man He met his lover almost every single day Making excuses for his dodgy holiday On some religion that he said he'd newly found They didn't know that his faith was earthly bound Brown, oh Billy Brown! Don't let the stars get you down Don't let the waves let you drown Brown, oh Billy Brown! Gonna pick you up like a paper cup Gonna shake the water out of every nook Oh Billy Brown! Oh Billy brown needed a place, somewhere to go He found an island off the coast of Mexico Leaving his lover and his family behind Oh Billy Brown needed to find some peace of mind Then on his journey and his travels on the way He met a girly who was brave enough to say… When they made love, he shared the burden of his mind “Oh Billy Brown, you are a victim of the times” Brown, oh Billy Brown! Don't let the stars get you down Don't let the waves let you drown Brown, oh Billy Brown! Gonna pick you up like a paper cup Gonna shake the water out of every nook Oh Billy Brown! Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life Two kids, a dog and a cautionary wife While it was all going accordingly to plan Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man
