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)
