Iggy Pop - Billy Is a Runaway lyrics

[Iggy Pop - Billy Is a Runaway lyrics]

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
Talking about the stereo
Driving in the left lane
I'm thinking about my burial

We pulled into the liquor store
And he was underage
And all he said to me was
'Put your money away'
Because 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 shaking
His boots start quaking

Billy is a runaway billy is a runaway
Billy is a runaway billy is a runaway
Runaway runaway
Runaway his hands start shaking
His boots start quaking runaway, babe
Billy is a runaway billy is a runaway
