They came at night, leaving fear behind Shadows were on the ground Nobody knew where to find him No evidence was found "I'm never comin' back" They heard him cry And I believe him Well He never meant to do anything wrong It's gonna get worse if he waits too long
Billy, Billy don't you lose my number 'Cause you're not anywhere that I can find you Oh now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number 'Cause you're not anywhere that I can find you Oh no
Searchin' through the day and into the night They wouldn't stop till they found him They didn't know him and they didn't understand They never asked him why "Get out of my way" they heard him shout Then a blinding light Oh all they could see Was him runnin' down the street Out of the shadows and into the night
Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number 'Cause you're not anywhere that I can find you Oh, oh, oh, oh Billy, Billy don't you lose my number 'Cause you're not anywhere that I can find you Oh
Don't give up Keep runnin', keep hidin' Don't give up Billy, if you know you're right Don't give up You know that I am on your side
Don't give up Oh Billy, you better, you better You better run for your life
Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number 'Cause you're not anywhere that I can find you Oh, oh, oh now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number 'Cause you're not anywhere that I can find you Oh
Nobody knew where to find him No evidence was found He never meant to do anything wrong It's gonna get worse if he waits too long
Billy, Billy don't you lose my number 'Cause you're not anywhere that I can find you Oh now Billy Oh, oh, oh now Billy
