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 dealing sister wants him to join 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
