Fifty Buck Billy
Fifty Buck Billy's Unending Quest
Lyrics
Fifty Buck Billy had a wallet in his hand
Fifty Buck Billy has a wallet in his hand.
Swore up and down it was taken by the man
He insists it was taken by someone (referred to as "the man").
He'll burn you tomorrow
He threatens retaliation ("He'll burn you tomorrow").
But he's gone the next day
Despite the threat, he disappears the next day.
No one can stand him
No one can tolerate or endure him.
Now he needs a place to stay
Now he needs a place to stay, possibly because of his actions.
It's true
Confirmation that the previous statements about him are accurate.
Fifty Buck Billy needs just one thing
Fifty Buck Billy requires one specific thing.
And it's something
Emphasizes the importance of that something.
It's something from you
That something is requested from the listener or someone else.
Now Billy only had a 50 to his name
Billy only possesses $50.
He'd make you think that he's a goddamn shame
He pretends to be a pitiable person.
That wallet's a cobweb
The wallet is neglected or unused.
He'll never throw down
Billy won't spend the money; he'll keep it.
He'll have that same 50 next time he's in town
He will still have the same $50 the next time he's in town.
It's true
Reiteration of the truth about Fifty Buck Billy.
Fifty Buck Billy needs just one thing
Fifty Buck Billy desires a specific thing.
And it's something
Reinforces the significance of that something.
It's something from you
Requests that something from the listener or someone else.
Billy knew what was just a happenin' in town
Billy is aware of current events in town.
He knew just what was a about to go down
He anticipates or knows what is about to happen.
His body aches
Billy is physically and mentally distressed.
And his mind is sore
Suggests he found the $50 accidentally (a groundscore).
Pretty sure that 50 was just a groundscore
Confirms the truth about the $50.
It's true
Reiteration of the truth about Fifty Buck Billy.
Fifty Buck Billy needs just one thing
Fifty Buck Billy desires a specific thing.
And it's something
Emphasizes the importance of that something.
It's something from you
Requests that something from the listener or someone else.
