Billy was 17 and mean as hellBonnie said she was 30, it was hard to tellBilly met Bonnie on a Saturday nightAt the dirt track races, it was love at first sightBonnie was wilder than the west wind blowsTaught Billy every single thing he knowsBut she never told billy what she left outThe part about the trouble when your times runs outWhen the thrill is gone, when your deal goes southIt's all over when your time runs outBonnie said, Billy, don't you think it's timeWe moved on a little further down the lineSo they knocked off a Texaco south of townBlew down the highway with the ragtop downBilly woke Bonnie up about first lightSaid, You drive honey, I've been up all nightNow Billy wasn't sweatin' no APBâ'Cause they didn't leave a single soul alive to seeThe boy was just 16, made his mama proudThat don't mean nothin' when your time runs outBonnie kept pushin' that CadillacBilly passed out with the seat reared backSlept through Louisiana, then just past darkBonnie pulled over in a roadside parkLeft Billy sleeping and she called the copsHe never knew nothin' when the dime was droppedBonnie knew what she had to doShe called the sheriff and she cried on cueAnd the state police rousted Billy outHe was dreaming about Bonnie when his time ran outThe sheriff told Billy, Boy, you're bound to dieâ'Cause this young lady's gonna testifyThat you done took her off against her willAnd she told us about the robbery and the boy you killedThe judge said, Billy, what you got to sayBefore I have the sheriff carry you awayBilly looked Bonnie right in the eyeBut he didn't even have to ask her whyBut he turned around as they led him outHe said, I'll see you down in hell when your time runs out
