[Verse 1]
G C G C G
Billy was 17 and mean as hell
D G D G
Bonnie said she was 30, it was hard to tell
C G C G
Billy met Bonnie on a Saturday night
D G
At the dirt track races, it was love at first sight
C G C G
Bonnie was wilder than the west wind blows
D G D G
Taught Billy every single thing he knows
C G C G
But she never told billy what she left out
D G D G
The part about the trouble when your times runs out
[Bridge]
C G C G
When the thrill is gone, when your deal goes south
D G D G
It's all over when your time runs out
[Verse 2]
G C G C G
Bonnie said, "Billy, don't you think it's time
G D G D G
We moved on a little further down the line"
G C G C G
So they knocked off a Texaco south of town
G D G D G
Blew down the highway with the rag-top down
G C G C G
Billy woke Bonnie up about first light
G D G D G
Said, "You drive honey, I've been up all night"
G C G C G
Now Billy wasn't sweatin' no APB
G D G D G
'Cause they didn't leave a single soul alive to see
[Bridge]
G C G C G
The boy was just 16, made his mama proud
G D G D G
That don't mean nothin' when your time runs out
[Verse 3]
G C G C G
Bonnie kept pushin' that Cadillac
G D G D G
Billy passed out with the seat reared back
G C G C G
Slept through Louisiana, then just past dark
G D G D G
Bonnie pulled over in a roadside park
G C G C G
Left Billy sleeping and she called the cops
G D G D G
He never knew nothin' when the dime was dropped
G C G C G
Bonnie knew what she had to do
G D G D G
She called the sheriff and she cried on cue
[Bridge]
G C G C G
And the state police rousted Billy out
G D G D G
He was dreaming about Bonnie when his time ran out
[Verse 4]
G C G C G
The sheriff told Billy, "Boy, you're bound to die
G D G D G
'Cause this young lady's gonna testify
G C G C G
That you done took her off against her will
G D G D G
And she told us about the robbery and the boy you killed"
G C G C G
The judge said, "Billy, what you got to say
G D G D G
Before I have the sheriff carry you away"
G C G C G
Billy looked Bonnie right in the eye
G D G D G
But he didn't even have to ask her why
[Bridge]
G C G C G
But he turned around as they led him out
G D G
He said, "I'll see you down in hell when your time runs out"
