You Leave Alone

Billy built cars that never went nowhere
The only thing working was the dial radio
He sat on the front seat listening to baseball
Dreaming about places that he'll never go
He liked to ride bulls and tease all his children
And make up new words that meant nothing at all
Cursed the stars that had left him in Natchez
Hum an old tune and cry as they fall
Warm conversation, short term destination
Can lead to a lifetime away from home
No plans worth making, all the big dreams are taken
When you leave this world, you leave alone
Ah, the money was good on the road in the springtime
But one look from that girl and he settled down
He laughed right out loud when she said Mississippi
He said I never been there, but I like how it sounds
Warm conversation, short term destination
Can lead to a lifetime away from home
No plans worth making, all the big dreams are taken
When you leave this world, you leave alone
When you leave this world, you leave it alone
Billy built cars that never went nowhere
The only thing working was the dial radio
He sat on the front seat just listening to baseball
Dreaming about places that he'll never go
