Driving is a privilege not a right. They came up with that theory before everything was paved.

lyrics

Billy Take The Long Way
Words and Music by David Grossman

They found him lying out behind the arcade
The boys back home say his girlfriend's getting laid
On the day he got out he hitched a ride
Mud of the road stained his coat on one side
The boy's never been around
Now he's on the wrong side of town
Chorus
Billy take the long way
Take the long way home


Karma patrol has got him on the run
He never pulled a trigger
Never hurt no one
But the man's got his name on a list somewhere
Right next to a finger printed proofed I.D.

Highway patrol say he's a dangerous ride
They got his number on their breath machine
His mother says he's stupid - his sister says he's mean

And the deputy attorney wants the boy to come clean
Chorus
You catch a bird in the air with a bee bee gun
Catch a train for a ride but boy you got to run
Catch a buzz from a bottle on a cold cold night
Catch a cab catch a storm or a midnight flight
When the telephone rings in your hotel room
On your last dollar bill
Check out time is high noon
