Billy The Kid Lyrics - Billy Joel

From a town known as Wheeling West Virginia 

Rode a boy with a six-gun in his hand 

And his daring life of crime 

Made him a legend in his time 

East and West of the Rio Grande 

Well he started with a bank in Colorado 

In the pocket of his vest, a Colt he hid 

And his age and his size took the teller by surprise 

And word spread of Billy the Kid... 

Well he never traveled heavy 

Yes, he always rode alone 

And he soon put other older guns to shame 

And he never had a sweetheart 

And he never had a home 

But the cowboy and the rancher knew his name

Well he robbed his way from Utah to Oklahoma 

And the law just could not seem to track him down 

And it served his legend well 

For the folks they'd love to tell 'bout when Billy the Kid came to town 

Well one cold day a posse captured Billy 

And the judge said 

"String 'I'm up for what he did! 

And the cowboys and their kin like the sea, came pourin' in to watch the hangin' of Billy the Kid 

Well he never traveled heavy 

Yes, he always rode alone 

And he soon put other older guns to shame 

And he never had a sweetheart 

But he finally found a home 

Underneath the boot hill grave that bears his name
