Lyrics

Billy the kid

In the southern part of texas, east and west of el paso
Where the mighty franklin mountains guard the trail to mexico

Theres a new made widow cryin and a hurse a-rollin slow
And I guess that devils passed this way again

Theres a lathered sorrel stallion runnin through the joshua trees
A young man in the saddle with his coat tails in the breeze

Got a six gun on his right hip and a rifle at his knee
And hes dealin in a game that he cant win

Chorus

Poor billy bonney, youre only twenty-one
Pat garretts got your name on every bullet in his gun
Each notch you carved on your six-guns got a bloody tale to tell
Well, youre a mile ahead of garrett and a step outside of hell

Them fancy clothes youre wearin and the women in your bed
Cant take away the faces of the men that you left dead

As you ride across the badlands with a price upon your head
Now that wheel or fortune starts to turn

Your reputations grown till its the biggest in the land
And there aint a lot of people left who wanna call your hand

And I guess youll go down shootin just like all branded men
And when you shake hands with the devil you get burned

Chorus x 2
