Billy And Bonnie -Steve Earle
I Feel Alright 1996

(G)Billy was 17 and (C)mean as (G)hell (C G)

Bonnie said she was 30, it was (D)hard to (G)tell (D G) 

Billy met Bonnie on a (C)Saturday (G)night (C G)

At the dirt track races, it was (D)love at first (G)sight 

Bonnie was wilder than the (C)west wind (G)blows (C G) 

Taught Billy every single (D)thing he (G)knows (D G) 

But she never told billy what (C)she left (G)out (C G)

The part about the trouble when your (D)times runs (G)out (D G) 

When the thrill is (c)gone, when your deal goes (G)south (C G)

It's all over when your (C)time runs (G)out (C G)

Other verses continue the same.

Bonnie said, "Billy, don't you think it's time 
We moved on a little further down the line" 
So they knocked off a Texaco south of town 
Blew down the highway with the ragtop down 
Billy woke Bonnie up about first light 
Said, "You drive honey, I've been up all night" 
Now Billy wasn't sweatin' no APB 
‘Cause they didn't leave a single soul alive to see 
The boy was just 16, made his mama proud 
That don't mean nothin' when your time runs out 

Bonnie kept pushin' that Cadillac 
Billy passed out with the seat reared back 
Slept through Louisiana, then just past dark 
Bonnie pulled over in a roadside park 
Left Billy sleeping and she called the cops 
He never knew nothin' when the dime was dropped 
Bonnie knew what she had to do 
She called the sheriff and she cried on cue 
And the state police rousted Billy out 
He was dreaming about Bonnie when his time ran out 

The sheriff told Billy, "Boy, you're bound to die 
‘Cause this young lady's gonna testify 
That you done took her off against her will 
And she told us about the robbery and the boy you killed" 
The judge said, "Billy, what you got to say 
Before I have the sheriff carry you away" 
Billy looked Bonnie right in the eye 
But he didn't even have to ask her why 
But he turned around as they led him out 
He said, "I'll see you down in hell when your time runs out"

Note: I think this is ok.I don't have a mandolin but if you
capo the fifth fret and play the appropriate chords ( D, Dsus4,G and A)
it sounds pretty good.Comments, corrections welcome.

Video Billy And Bonnie

Short Of Breath - Rehearsal
Leiv Reed and Bosse Litsheim (Ai Phoenix) rehearsing the song Short Of Breath. Sorry, the sound isn't the strongest facet of my camera.

Enjoy Every Sandwich
This is a video I put together for the album Enjoy Every Sandwich which is a Warren Zevon tribute album. I recently bought this in the last 1 1/2 months. I know it's been out for about 3 years now but this album has ment a lot to me. I mainly wanted to put this up for those who haven't gotten a chance to hear the album yet. The intro was a tribute done by Bruce Springsteen live in Toronto (before he sang the song on track 5 that I'll get to). The video then features the artist with a clip of the song they sing in order as it appears in the album. 1. Don Henly - Searching For A Heart 2. Adam Sandler - Werewolves Of London 3. Steve Earle & Reckless Kelly - Reconsider Me 4. Jackson Browne & Bonnie Raitt - Poor, Poor Pitiful Me 5. Bruce Springsteen - My Ride's Here 6. The Wallflowers - Lawyers, Guns and Money 7. Jordan Zevon - Studebaker 8. Billy Bob Thornton - The Wind 9. Pete Yorn - Splendid Isolation 10. Bob Dylan - Mutineer 11. David Lindley & Ry Cooder - Monkey Wash, Donkey Rinse 12. Jill Sobule - Don't Let Us Get Sick 13. Pixies - Ain't That Pretty At All 14. Jorge Calderon & Jennifer Warnes - Keep Me In Your Heart I just want to say that this is not supposed to be humorous...like most of my other videos. If you start laughing, it's probably bad pic selection. EDIT: 4-29-08 It had been challenged (or requested) for me to make a video for each of the songs on the album. I took the challenge. To date, I now have "Searching For A Heart," "Werewolves of London," "Reconsider Me," and "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me" up as their own video. EDIT 5-30-2008 It has been brought to my attention that I have some typos in my video. In the video, I spelled Don Henley like Don Henly. This is a mistake. His name is Don Henley. I also spelled "Splendid Isolation" S-P-L-E-N-D-E-D. It's spelled with an I before the D instead of the E. Finally, "Reconsider Me" was misspelled too. It was spelled without an "O". Basically, it's been brought to my attention and I wanted it known that this was NOT intentianal.... And I call myself an English Major...
