Lyrics Run Billy Run - The Shadows

Run Billy Run

Roller coaster gotta take me back
Lost my way, gotta find the right track
Get back
Right behind me is Desperate Dan
I took his woman, and he knows I’m her man
Run Billy, run Billy boy
Robbed a bank down in Arkansas
I took my woman and I’ve broken the law
And I’m sure
That my tomorrows are almost gone
When Desperate Dan finds me, my life’s done
(Run Billy, run Billy boy)
Run Billy, run Billy, run Billy boy
We hope you survive, we want you alive
Run Billy, run Billy, or you will die
The whole world’s waiting, run Billy, try
Closed my eyes and tried counting sheep
Desperate Dan just looked like Bo Peep
I can’t sleep
Mary Lee you been good to me
Change your name and try Tennessee
Run Billy, run Billy boy
When Mary’s gone, I gotta face this man
One of us is gonna die with my plan
Goodbye, Dan
The time will come when I’m dead and gone
You’ll read about Billy boy on the run
Run Billy, run Billy boy
Run Billy, run Billy, run Billy boy
We hope you survive, we want you alive
Run Billy, run Billy, or you will die
The whole world’s waiting, run Billy, try
Doo do doo do doo doo doo doo
Doo do doo do doo doo doo doo doo
Goodbye Dan
Doo do doo do doo doo doo doo
Doo do doo do doo doo doo doo doo
Run Billy, run Billy boy
(repeat, fade)
