Lyrics for Billy And Bonnie by Steve Earle:
| | | Artist: | Steve Earle |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Billy And Bonnie | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 78 | | | | Lyrics: | Billy was 17 and mean as hell
Bonnie said she was 30, it was hard to tell
Billy met Bonnie
on a Saturday night
At the dirt track races, it was love at first sight
Bonnie was wilder
than the west wind blows
Taught Billy every single thing he knows
But she never told billy
what she left out
The part about the trouble when your times runs out
When the thrill
is gone, when your deal goes south
It's all over when your time runs out
Bonnie said,
";Billy, don't you think it's time
We moved on a little further down the line";
So they
knocked off a Texaco south of town
Blew down the highway with the ragtop down
Billy woke
Bonnie up about first light
Said, ";You drive honey, I've been up all night";
Now Billy
wasn't sweatin' no APB
Cause they didn't leave a single soul alive to see
The boy was
just 16, made his mama proud
That don't mean nothin' when your time runs out
Bonnie
kept pushin' that Cadillac
Billy passed out with the seat reared back
Slept through
Louisiana, then just past dark
Bonnie pulled over in a roadside park
Left Billy sleeping
and she called the cops
He never knew nothin' when the dime was dropped
Bonnie knew what
she had to do
She called the sheriff and she cried on cue
And the state police
rousted Billy out
He was dreaming about Bonnie when his time ran out
The sheriff told
Billy, ";Boy, you're bound to die
Cause this young lady's gonna testify
That you done took
her off against her will
And she told us about the robbery and the boy you killed";
The
judge said, ";Billy, what you got to say
Before I have the sheriff carry you away";
Billy
looked Bonnie right in the | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
