Officer, I swear that Im licensed to drive
Flyin down the freeway breakneck fast, an
Officer, I swear that Im legal, no lie

All the cops in town know my reputation
Everybody thinks that Im goin to heck
Everybody thinks Im beyond salvation
Im no scoundrel sir
Thats just what you heard
My name is Billy, and I dont believe in bein good
Thats what they say cuz I dont act the way they think I should
They shake their heads cuz I live a life that breaks the mold
Callin me wicked but Im not, Im just 16 years old
