Bobby V - THE STORY OF BILLY AND McGILLY Lyrics

Billy Black Jack woke up one day and decided to hit the pavement
He said, I'm gonna get on my feet, that boy was in for a treat when he made his way down to Loaiza
He met a young filly, her name was McGillie, and they hitchhiked their way to Nevada
With no money to play and no place to stay, they robbed a casino up in Reno

They were on the run, they were on the run, they were on the run, but they were having fun

Now the cops got wind of where they were heading from a snitch who saw them leave the casino
And the sheriff was determined to find them young kids with his man hunting dog named Dino
He said, why do people rob when they can get a job and save me the hassle of all this police work
And the hotel clerk said, man, it's your duty to serve and protect us people, ya jerk

They were on the run, they were on the run, they were on the run, but they were having fun

Billy Blackjack and his filly named McGillie had a suitcase full of money
They stole a rig and they were heading south trying to taste that Mexican honey
When they hit the state line there, they would find a roadblock in that sheriff of Reno
Well, Billy pulled over on the side of the road and said, we better hide the dinero

They were on the run, they were on the run, they were on the run, but they were having fun

Well, it looks like them kids were gonna spend the next 20 years in the Nevada Correctional Institution

They were on the run, they were on the run, they were on the run, but they were having fun

They were young and wild and they were having fun and they were feeling kind of groovy
Then McGillie said to Billy, pull over and let me drive, I saw this in a Burt Reynolds movie
She put the pedal to the metal, busted straight through that roadblock and gave the sheriff the finger
And they laughed all the way to Monterey and that's the story of them two gunslingers

They were on the run, they were on the run, they were on the run, but they were having fun
They were on the run, they were on the run, they were on the run, but they were having fun
