Billy The Kid

Silence



In the steps of no-man's land



Camp fire, the smell of prarie wind



Men surround the blaze



Drink booze recall the day



Til a strangers voice rings out to pray the sin



"The man who pulls his gun'd be dead



before he moves the trigger"



Scared to death no one dared to breathe



Billy took their money



Burst into ringing laughter



Stole a horse and left the shattered scene



Billy the kid, beast of prey that won't be tamed



Billy the kid, loved the thrill of deadly games



Wanted



For the men he'd killed in vain



A thousand dollars cash on Billy's head



Hunted by a star



For the lives he'd left in pain



And the day they met the outlaw lost the game



The marshal held his gun



Aimed at Billy's head with laughter



But the youngster was to proud for given' in



Billy felt no pain



But he was shot, the law was faster



Falling to his knees he hit the trail



Billy the kid, beast of prey that won't be tamed



Billy the kid, loved the thrill of deadly games



Billy the kid, a youngster and hie deadly gun



Billy the kid, a lonely hero on the run



The killing and the blood for golden dreams



A senseless war



An endless fight the youngster couldn't win



A hundred times before he'd died



He knocked on heaven's door



Til his maker opened up to lead him in.
