There's guns across the river aimin' at ya
Lawman on your trail, he'd
like to catch ya
Bounty hunters, too, they'd like to get ya
Billy, they don't like you to
be so free.
Campin' out all night on the berenda
Dealin' cards 'til dawn in the
hacienda
Up to Boot Hill they'd like to send ya
Billy, don't you turn your back on
me.
Playin' around with some sweet senorita
Into her dark hallway she will lead
ya
In some lonesome shadows she will greet ya
Billy, you're so far away from
home.
There's eyes behind the mirrors in empty places
Bullet holes and scars between
the spaces
There's always one more notch and ten more paces
Billy, and you're walkin' 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.
Guitars will play your grand finale
Down in some Tularosa alley,
Maybe in
the Rio Pecos valley
Billy, you're so far away from home.
There's always some new
stranger sneakin' glances
Some trigger-happy fool willin' to take chances
And some old
whore from San Pedro to make advances
Advances on your spirit and your soul.
The
businessmen from Taos want you to go down
They've hired Pat Garrett to force a
showdown.
Billy, don't it make ya feel so low-down
To be shot down by the man who was your
friend?
Hang on to your woman if you got one
Remember in El Paso, once, you shot
one.
She may have been a whore, but she was a hot one
Billy, you been runnin' for so
long.
Guitars will play your grand finale
Down in some Tularosa alley
Maybe in
the Rio Pecos valley
Billy, you're so far away from home | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
