ben jarrell - troubled times in a tribal town lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
billy’s born an outsider over on the north end of town
yeah, he was weird awkward and strange didn’t have too many friends to hang around
he push and pull for culture nothing ever came up into view
something evil lied in wait waiting on him to have nothing to do

[verse 2]
well he met her at a bar in ozark he was there most every night
over time he won her heart saying just about everything right
then late one night they took a ride alone out on highway 109
police found her in a shallow grave by the roadside

[chorus]
troubled times in a tribal town
idle hands hanging around
troubled times in a tribal town
that devil plays when the sun goes down
sun goes down

[verse 3]
they all knew it was billy
the next morning sheriffs were pounding on his door
sayin’ billy don’t try to hide we saw you hanging ‘round her all those nights before
when he opened up his door he was still wearing that bl–dy shirt
they said what do ya have to say for yourself
he said, “i made it quick for anything it’s worth”

[chorus]
troubled times in a tribal town
idle hands hanging around
troubled times in a tribal town
that devil plays when the sun goes down
sun goes down

[verse 4]
they sentenced to billy to death
to take yellow mollies electric ride
preacher man saying his last rights for todayit’s the day he’s going to die
now before we hit the switch if you got anything to say
he said sorry i’m not sorry at least you gave me something to do today

[chorus]
troubled times in a tribal town
idle hands hanging around
troubled times in a tribal town
that devil plays when the sun goes down
when the sun goes down
sun goes down
