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.
