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