Billy left his hometown in Baltimore, looking for the big time
Went to make his home down in Arkansas and stay there for a short time
But, Billy's gotta run, there's a father with a shotgun screaming for his life
So he's away and running free, 'cause he couldn't really that little lady was his wife
Billy hit the town on a Saturday, looking for a good time
Laid a little chick and was on his way, but I guess he picked a bad time
And now, Billy's gotta run, there's a father with a shotgun screaming for his life
So he's away and running free, 'cause he couldn't really that little lady was his wife
Billy, get your foot down, you're just gonna get put down, what else can you do?
But now he feels some things are not done, so he's got a shotgun, what instead of you?
Billy's burning gas back to Baltimore, trying hard to make time
He's been doing 85 for an hour or more and he's nearly up the state line
But, Billy's gotta run, there's a father with a shotgun screaming for his life
So he's away and running free, 'cause he couldn't really that little lady was his wife
Mm-mm mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm mm-mm-mm-mm
