Original Songs by Kent Newsome

William's on a Bender


William's on a bender
It's been a long time coming
He's been holding it inside
As long as I've known him
William's on a bender

Chorus:
If I were William
I'd be on a bender too

William's grown his hair long
And he's sporting an earring
He bought my old guitar
He going to learn how to sing
William's grown his hair long

Chorus:
If I were William
I'd grow my hair long too

William's leaving Texas
On the back of a Greyhound
He's never been to Tulsa
But he'll be there pretty soon now
William's leaving Texas

Chorus:
If I were William
I'd leave Texas too

William's on a big drunk
He's letting it all hang out
He's feeling those feelings
He thought he'd forgotten about
William's on a big drunk

Chorus:
If I were William
I'd be on a big drunk too

William's on a bender
It's been a long time coming
He's been holding it inside
As long as I've known him
William's on a bender

Chorus:
If I were William
I'd be on a bender too
