Billy Is a Runaway

Lyrics

Billy was a Bird dog
 He pulled up in a Bonneville
 I went to see my manager
 He usually handles these things
 Billy pulled his wallet
 Full of hundred dollar bills
 Took me for a joyride
 Talkin' 'bout the stereo
 Drivin' in the left lane
 I'm thinkin' 'bout my burial
 We pulled into the liquor store
 And he was underage
 And all he said to me was
 Put your money away
 'Cause Billy is a runaway
 Billy's got a Family
 Gonna skin him alive
 His dope dealing sister
 Wants him to join the enterprise
 I leave him at the motel
 They can talk it all over
 His sister's got a baby now
 And Billy hardly knows her
 Well I'm a friendly kind of guy
 And I had to have him over
 I gave him a drink
 What do you think
 His hands start shakin'
 His boots start quakin'
 Billy is a runaway (x4)
 Runaway (x3)
 His hands start shakin'
 His boots start quakin'
 Runaway baby
 Billy is a runaway (x2)
