Billings

Thirty acres on the Rimrocks
Thirty miles outside of town
Thirty days to go til the bank forecloses
And they finally shut us down

Oh, Billings, I always found you willing
But I don’t think you want me anymore

I’ll sell the John Deere, the Holsteins and the Hereford steer
Soon as there’s a buyer
But tonight it’s Johnny Cash, James Lee Burke, and sourmash
Sitting by the fire

Oh, Billings, I always found you willing
But I don’t think you want me anymore

I might float on down the Yellowstone
Or head east toward the Bakken
With all that drilling, I could make a killing
They say that place is rocking

Oh, Billings, I always found you willing
But I don’t think you want me anymore
