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 never told 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 never told 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 never told me that I needed a gun Billy Porter When you wrote you said That this place is fun
