Текст песни
Billy sipped his rum can as he speeded out of town
Monday afternoon, there would be no cops around
She was good but he knew that she was out of bounds
Now he's out of this town
He said, "I hold her tight once a week, then I leave her once again
Gotta shoot my quota, I'll see you next weekend
I don't know if she's worth it, but
Again I'm blowing dust to her town"
Directly on the river bed
The road was wide and dry, the policeman shook his head
There is no answer to this end
Another mystery flows past Chilla's Bend
Her daddy runs the Chilla, his name is Max the killer
If you knew, Bill, what Max could do
It would make your backbone shiver
What happened to the last boy who came snooping around?
Now he's out of this town
She said, "Meet me on the north side, the plan will go this way
You're gonna take me from my father, Billy, or there'll be hell to pay
I'll wear the dress that you love best
I'll wear my dark hair down and we'll get out of this town"
Directly on the river bed
The road was wide and dry, the policeman shook his head
There is no answer to this end
Another mystery flows past Chilla's Bend
Becky stood there waiting, her Billy didn't show
Her head, it was a-spinning and her heart beat fast, then slow
Lights approach, her daddy Max says, "Billy's drowned"
Now he's out of this town
Directly on the river bed
The road was wide and dry, the policeman shook his head
There is no answer to this end
Another mystery flows past Chilla's Bend
