She stole a car for her sweet sixteen She headed for that brand new Orleans Slipped our of her dress and grew long in her teeth Hey, Billy when you roll out don't roll over me She rubbed them two nickels then turned on a dime Sold daddy's watch to make up for lost time She was looking to burn money in a town that's on fire Hey, Billy when you burn out don't ask for a light Hey, Billy don't act so naive When you hang your heart from that tear on your sleeve It's a cold day in hell / don't let them feed you their little white lies Cause Billy they're gonna eat you alive She burned at both ends till the sun met the moon They'd collide in her mind on the floor of her room If that red eye and rot gut don't agree with you Then Billy I think it's high time this hightail is through Well Billy I know you did the best that you could Split both your knuckles just knocking on wood But last night raising Cain you killed Abel for good Yeah Billy that blind luck never leads where it should Hey, Billy why you acting so strange You carry your head like your digging your grave It's a slip of the wrist / cuts your legs while your shaving / Hey that's your blood Come on Billy it ain't a race so don't run Hey, Billy don't you take one from me You'll be strung out on cocaine pissing your jeans The bough's gonna break and back home they'll see you through a black light Come on Billy it wouldn't kill you to try Hey, Billy we're gonna find out tonight
