Billy The Kid Lyrics

Well I heard you in the back room 

 Your friends had a laugh on me 

 Passed my name through the cantina 

 Yeah your face was hard to read 

 Something in your demeanor 

 Should of given you away 

 But I was desperate for a friend 

 I was getting used to making mistakes 

 Well I went down hard 

 Like Billy the Kid 

 Yeah, I went down hard 

 Yeah, but I got up again 

 I remember you my baby 

 I remember you so well 

 And your house out in the suburbs 

 You had your wishing well 

 They say be careful who you believe 

 Be careful who you trust 

 Did you smile when you pulled the trigger 

 That dropped me in the dust 

 Well, I went down hard 

 Like Billy the Kid 

 Yeah, I went down hard 

 Yeah, but I got up again 

 Well, you caught me in the bedroom 

 Cotton fever in a sweat 

 I was fighting for recovery 

 But I wasn't giving up yet 

 You offered no assistance 

 Yeah, you looked at me and you lied 

 Oh it really stunned me 

 When you went to the other side 

 I went down hard 

 Like Billy the Kid 

 Yeah, I went down hard 

 Oh, but I got up again
