Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary l ife.
Two kids, a d og, and a cautionary wife.
While it was all going according t o plan
Then Billy Br own fell in l ove with another man.
He met his lo ver almost every single day
Making exc uses through his (dodly) hol iday
(Unto relig ion that he said and duty found
They didn't kn ow that his faith was (eart hlic) bound)
Br own... Oh Billy Brown.
Don't let the s tars get you down.
Don't let the w aves let you drown.
Br own... Oh Bill y Brown.
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup.
Gonna shake the water out of every nook.
Oh Billy Br own.
Oh Billy Br own needed a place, somewhere to go.
He found an is land off the coast of Mexi co
Leaving his l over and his family beh ind.
Oh Billy Bro wn needed to f ind some peace of mind.
And on his jo urney and his travels on the way,
He met a g irlie who was brave enough to say,
When they made lo ve he shared the burden of his mind.
Oh Billy Br own you are a victim of the times.
Br own... Oh Bill y Brown.
Don't let the s tars get you down.
Don't let the w aves let you drown.
Br own... Oh Bill y Brown.
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup.
Gonna shake the water out of every nook.
Oh Billy Br own.
