Billy started a fire, now he’s doing some time
Boy, you had to be right, always picking a fight
Hope he’s doing alright
Hope he’s doing alright
Trouble comes easy when you go asking for it
You say you can’t avoid it, your pride is too important
You won’t believe me but I can’t afford to lose you
Over something stupid
Billy started a fight, says he won in a landslide
Solitary confined, you should see the other guy
Hope he’s doing alright
Trouble comes easy when you go asking for it
You say you can’t avoid it, your pride is too important
You won’t believe me but I can’t afford to lose you
Over something stupid, over something
Billy started a fire and he ran in the night
Won’t see him for a while
In the flashing lights, oh, they rid him his rights
Won’t see him for a while
Trouble comes easy when you go looking for it
Hey, Billy, was it worth it? You think you proved your point now?
I won’t be waiting, there ain’t no way around it
I gotta live without you now
Trouble comes easy (Billy started a fire)
When you go asking for it (Now he’s doing some time)
You say you can’t avoid it (hope he's doing alright)
Your pride is too important
Won’t believe me (Billy started a fire, now he’s doing some time)
But I can’t afford to lose you
Over something stupid, over something
