Billy The Kid


Billy is a rider in the desert of his mind
Setting out to catch the wind before it's out of sight
He never knew it's riding what is keeping alive
The wind that is drying the tears in his eyes

Ch:
Billy o keep riding your horse with no name
Might throw you into prison claim you are insane
But Billy-o Billy-o they will never find
A way to take away your guns - so carry on your mind

Billy faces problems no one cares to solve
Forced to be a loner he became the Steppenwolfe
No path through the desert he's leading the way
Just the thought of water keeps him going on everyday

Ch:
Billy o keep riding your horse with no name
Might throw you into prison claim you are insane
But Billy-o Billy-o they will never find
A way to take away your guns - so carry on your mind

C-Part:
Every town he's getting to is forcing him to leave
A boy that strange must be a killer or a thief
Billy-o escapes for advice to the moon
Talking to his childhood friends the Owl and Chief Broom

Ch:
Billy o keep riding your horse with no name
Might throw you into prison claim you are insane
But Billy-o Billy-o they will never find
A way to take away your guns - so carry on your mind
