Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life
Two kids, a dog, and a cautionary wife
While it was all going according to plan
Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man


He met his lover almost every single day
Making excuses through his dully holiday
Unto religion that he said and duty found
They didn’t know 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


And on his journey and his travels on the way
He met a girlie 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


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 according to plan
Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man
