Billy-John Sykes

It was the midnight hour when the boy broke out of FriscoRunning scared he's moving from the heat The electric chair was the sentence there But they didn't take the time or care to see That it wasn't Billy, it wasn't BillyIt wasn't Billy, Billy They call him public enemy number one But they don't know what's going on They call him public enemy number one But they don't know what's going on Well I'm cruising in a car heading down the main street To see my girl, she's waiting there for me The cops are tailing with their sirens wailing But the one thing they can see is there ain't just Billy, oh no I'm gonna race this car get away from here Start a new life, there'll be no more fear for me, no, no, no They call him public enemy number one But they don't know what's going on They call him public enemy number one But they don't know what's going on with me I'll tell you girl if we make it to the borderline We will be free Just you and me I swear I will make you mine till the end of our time Now Billy's got a gun and he's heading for the border Moving fast they're almost in the clear Police are waiting with an ambush, saying There ain't nothing passing here, not even Billy, oh, no, no They're gunning Billy down in the middle of the street I'm runnning full of lead and his girl begins to scream, oh, no, no, no They call him public enemy number one But they don't know what's going on They call him public enemy number one But they don't know what's going on They call him public enemy number one They gotta shoot to kill 'cause he's on the run They call him public enemy number one They call him BillyThey call him BillyThey call him BillyThey call him Billy
