Billy Porter

Walking down an empty road

I saw a man in old grey clothes, a stranger

Passing by he smiled at me

But when I looked, I realised the danger

For his eyes they looked so empty and cold

And something told me that I'm gonna be rolled

In my pocket only cents and dimes

But then for them he'd gladly kill me

Walking past and walking fast

I managed just to slip around a corner

Thought he'd hear my running feet

As I went pounding down the street like thunder

Well I've never heard my heart beat so fast

And I've never been so scared in the past

And I never ever realised that this place could be evil to me

Billy Porter

You didn't tell me that I needed a gun

Billy Porter

When you wrote you said that this place is fun

What have I done?

Well I've never heard my heart beat so fast

And I've never been so scared in the past

And I never ever realised that this place could be evil to me

Let me tell ya'

Now Billy's smart and Billy's tough

He's good to have when the going's rough he told me

"Don't go out on your own at night for if you do you'll have to fight, stay by me"

Now he's teaching me each and every day

And I think that in this place I might stay

And I never ever realised what a roughneck I would turn out to be

Billy Porter

You didn't tell me that I needed a gun

Billy Porter

When you wrote you said that this place is fun

What can be done?

Billy Porter

You didn't tell me that I needed a gun

Billy Porter

When you wrote you said that this place is fun

Billy Porter

You never told me that I'd be on the run

Billy Porter

What would father say if he saw his son?

Billy Porter

You ain't told me that I needed a gun

Billy Porter

When you wrote you said that this place is fun
