Hillbilly Billy - Charles Esten, Colin Linden

All around the mountain there’s a legend that has grown

'Bout a boy they all call Billy, he lives up there alone

Works down in the mine where every day is black as night

By the time that Friday rolls around, he’s ready for them lights

He rakes a comb back through his hair, hitches up his pants

He’ll be taking on the town now, man, that town don’t stand a chance

Hillbilly Billy better run for the hills

Come down here to get his fill

Whiskey, women, wine and thrills

Husbands here are fit to kill

And if they catch that boy, they will

Hillbilly Billy better run for the hills

He reaches for his wallet, throws a card down on the bar

Then he takes a drink, and mixes it with something from a jar

By 10, he’s on the dance floor, tearing up some wood

Buying drinks for everybody with that card that ain’t no good

By 2, he’s in the alleyway with some old brother’s wife

2:15 you’ll hear a shotgun, see him running for his life

Hillbilly Billy better run for the hills

Come down here to get his fill

Of whiskey, women, wine and thrills

Husbands here are fit to kill

And if they catch that boy, they will

Hillbilly Billy better run for the hills

They followed him down Main Street, saw him tear across the bridge

Caught him sit behind the junkyard out by Hunter’s Ridge

They swear they almost caught him right before the dome

He was gone, gone, gone, gone

Hillbilly Billy better run for the hills

Come down here, and his fill

He’ll be back, oh, yes, he will

Then hillbilly Billy better run for the hills, yeah

Hillbilly Billy better run for the hills

Come down here to get his fill

Of whiskey, women, wine and thrills

Husbands here are fit to kill

And if they catch that boy, they will

Hillbilly Billy better run for the hills

He’ll be back
