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 holiday
unto religion that
he said and duty found
they didn't know
his faith was bound
brown...oh billy brown
don't let the stars
get you down
don't let the waves
let you drown
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
you are a victim of the times
brown...oh billy brown
all going according to plan
