Clark Kent Phone Booth - Texas Billie Lyrics
She packed her bags at twenty, left her memories behindThough were the memories of a girl that usually smiledBut now there’s wrinkles round Blue Billie’s eyesShe can afford now just a grown-old sightBlue Billie joined the band playing night over nightFound people in the clubs tear their dreams all apartWhen money came the stage became her paradiseShe left her boy just to become a starSo she busted out of that miseryHer old piano gave her everything she neededBut success erased her hometown with a blowThought of having found the right place to call homeIn the audience applauseCan’t you feel a little cold around?Slammed the door in front of past and now?Can’t you feel a little empty around?If you can’t buy with all your money one new homeBlue Billie hid her shyness behind sunglasses too blackForgot how good it’d been watching skies right on faceHearing the echoing words from the valley belowSwearing to Tom “I’ll never let you go”Waiting for better days and finding them already goneSo she realized the place she’s coming fromCould never be replaced by any city’s smokeAnd her piano let her goCan’t you feel a little cold around?Slammed the door in front of past and now?Can’t you feel a little empty ‘round?If you can’t buy with all your money one new hometownBlue Billie married Tom in 1989She’s got a little boy, maybe he’ll play the guitarAt night she stands upon her own windowsillShe still can hear that piano on the cliff as she turns away
