Billy Porter

Lyrics

Walking down an empty road
 I saw a man in old gray clothes
 A stranger
 Passing by he smiled at me
 But when I looked
 I realized the danger
 For his eyes they looked so empty and cold
 And something told me that I'm gonna be rolled
 In my pocket only cents and dimes
 But then for them he'd gladly kill me
 Walking past and walking fast
 I managed just to slip
 Around a corner
 Thought he'd hear my running feet
 As I went pounding down the street
 Like thunder
 Well, I've never heard my heart beat so fast
 And I've never been so scared in the past
 And I never ever realized
 That this place could be evil to me
 Billy Porter
 You didn't tell me
 That I needed a gun
 Billy Porter
 When you wrote you said
 That this place is fun
 What have I done?
 Well, I've never heard my heart beat so fast
 And I've never been so scared in the past
 And I never ever realized
 That this place could be evil to me
 Let me tell ya'
 Now Billy's smart and Billy's tough
 He's good to have
 When the going's rough
 He told me
 "Don't go out on your own at night
 For if you do you'll have to fight
 Stay by me"
 Now he's teaching me
 Each and every day
 And I think that in this place
 I might stay
 And I never, ever realized
 What a roughneck
 I would turn out to be
 Billy Porter
 You never told me
 That I needed a gun
 Billy Porter
 When you wrote you said
 That this place is fun
 What can be done
 Billy Porter
 You never told me
 That I needed a gun
 Billy Porter
 When you wrote you said
 That this place is fun
 Billy Porter
 You never told me
 That I'd be on the run
 Billy Porter
 What would father say
 If he saw his son?
 Billy Porter
 You never told me
 That I needed a gun
 Billy Porter
 When you wrote you said
 That this place is fun
