Running Wild - Billy The Kid Lyrics
SilenceIn the steps of no-man's landCamp fire, the smell of prarie windMen surround the blazeDrink booze recall the dayTil a strangers voice rings out to pray the sin"The man who pulls his gun'd be deadbefore he moves the trigger"Scared to death no one dared to breatheBilly took their moneyBurst into ringing laughterStole a horse and left the shattered sceneBilly the kid, beast of prey that won't be tamedBilly the kid, loved the thrill of deadly gamesWantedFor the men he'd killed in vainA thousand dollars cash on Billy's headHunted by a starFor the lives he'd left in painAnd the day they met the outlaw lost the gameThe marshal held his gunAimed at Billy's head with laughterBut the youngster was to proud for given' inBilly felt no painBut he was shot, the law was fasterFalling to his knees he hit the trailBilly the kid, beast of prey that won't be tamedBilly the kid, loved the thrill of deadly gamesBilly the kid, a youngster and hie deadly gunBilly the kid, a lonely hero on the runThe killing and the blood for golden dreamsA senseless warAn endless fight the youngster couldn't winA hundred times before he'd diedHe knocked on heaven's doorTil his maker opened up to lead him in.
