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.
