    Story Behind the Song
    Billy Joe Bob Grey was written about a now good friend. I had no idea at the time I wrote it, he is exactly how he is descibed!! Weird huh??(Adam Waid)

    Lyrics
    Standing in the door one day
    I saw a man and by his face
    I could tell he had a gentle way about him

    He looked at me and flashed a grin
    I could not help but let him in
    took off his shoes were he wouldn't mess the carpet
    Cleared his throat and told me of his life
    63 and never had a wife
    told me he was gonna be
    a star one day-

    Born and raised in Arkansas
    you could tell it by his over-alls
    the youngest of the fifteen in his family

    In 56 he hopped a train
    he could not even write his name
    but he knew that medicine
    was gonna make him famous

    Opened up the bag of blue
    there were 142 little bottles of a fantastic wonder substance

    And across the back
    a label on each one
    this product might just help you see the sun
    recomended dosage depends upon how you feel today-

    So I said
    Hey Billy Joe Bob Grey
    your offer is a good one
    but I cannot pay
    runnin' kind of short this week
    so what do you say
    I can make it good-
    on Tuesday--
    YEAH.........!!!!!!!!!
    (solo)

    On the perferated dotted line
    he broke a seal of 89
    placed it on the floor
    and said it was a sample

    I picked up the bottle and
    glanced inside
    I do admit it smelled devine
    and I thought to myself
    "it wouldn't hurt to try it out"

    I took one attempt and I melted
    to the chair
    felt a though I was
    just light as air
    and while I sat
    my cares just seemed to slip away-

    shhhh....
    Speaking in a soothing voice
    he said my son you have the choice
    to live your life completely at your leasure
    Staring at his face of chalk
    I stumbled when I tryed to walk
    so, I shook his hand and showed my appreciation.
    Don't you worry one bit lad
    I know this world is going bad
    53 more years and the whole thing's
    gonna change--

    Billy turned and headed for the door
    said I wouldn't need his help
    no more

    And as he shuffled down the street
    I heard him say-
    said I'm Billy Joe Bob Grey
    tell you what I'm gonna do
    cause you cannot pay
    Take all you want and
    by the way

    You don't have to pay me back...
    On TUESDAY!!!
    On TUESDAY!!!
    On TUESDAY!!!
    YEAH.................!!!!!!!!!!!
