Billy 4 - Gretchen Peters
There's guns across the river
About to pound you
There's lawmen on your
Trail like to surround you
Bounty hunters are
Dancing all around you
Billy they don't like you to be so free
Camping out all night on the veranda
Walking in the streets
Down by the hacienda
Up to Boot Hill they'd like to send you
Billy don't you turn your back on me
Playing around with
Some sweet senorita
Into her dark chamber she will greet you
In the shadows of the
Mesas she will lead you
Billy and you're going all alone
They say that Pat
Garrett's got your number
So sleep with one eye open when you slumber
Every little sound just might be thunder
Thunder from the barrel of his gun
There's always another
Stranger sneaking glances
Some trigger happy fool
Willing to take chances
Some old whore from
San Pedro will make advances
Advances on your spirit and your soul
So hang on to your
Woman if you got one
Remember in
El Paso once you shot one
Yeah and up in
Santa Fe one time you bought one
Billy you've been running for so long
Gypsy queens will
Play your grand finale
Way down in some Tularosa alley
Maybe in La Rio Pecos valley
Billy you're so far away from home
Billy you're so far away from home
Billy you're so far away from home
