lyrics

My name’s not Billy it ain’t even Bill
gonna catch the next bus gonna ride it to hell
Hey there Missy can I borrow your keys,
I wanna take a little ride in your automobile

She frightened herself so she run away
Just keep running all night and day
I sat down on the bench again
Gonna catch the next bus gonna find me some sin

Hey hey what do you say,
I’m just a guy on a bench I been there all day

I once took a trip to a place so grand
Nobody there could understand
They must’ve thought I was John Wayne
Gonna get me a boat and go back someday

I know a river that’s filled with frogs,
Some so big they could eat your dog
French guy cook ‘em on the grill all day
Tastes like chicken, but I don’t like chicken

This guy I know, well I don’t really know
Found a million dollars buried in a hole
He died next week cause a tree branch fell
Guess it just shows that you never can tell

My name’s not Billy it ain’t even Bill
Gonna catch the next bus gonna ride it to hell
I’m waiting for the bus gonna find me some sin
Gonna ride all day and come back again
