Billy Is a Runaway lyrics

[Verse 1]
Billy was a Bird dog, he pulled up in a Bonneville
I went to see my manager, hey you that handles this thing
Billy pulled his wallet full of hundred dollar bills
Took me for a joyride, talkin' 'bout the stereo
Driving in the left lane, I'm thinkin' about my burial

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
Billy's got a family, gonna skin him alive
His dope dealer says it was him who joined the enterprise
I'll meet him at the motel and talk it all over
Sister's got a baby now and Billy hardly knows her
Well, I'm a friendly kind of guy and I had to have 'em over

[Bridge]
I gave him a drink, what do you think?
His inside shakin'
His boots start quakin'

[Chorus]
Billy is a runaway
Billy is a runaway
Billy is a runaway
Billy is a runaway
Runaway
Runaway
Runaway
[Outro]
His hands start shakin'
His boots start quakin'
Runaway
Billy is a runaway
Billy is a runaway
