Verse 1

C
Strapped on my holster low across my hips
Two cold forty-fives with white plastic grips
F
And I'd head west through our neighborhood
           C
They'd say here comes young Billy and he's up to no good yeah

Verse 2

I rode a trail through the neighbor's backyard
Shootin' the bad guys through my handle bars
F
Known for my bravery both far and near
    C
And bein' late for supper was my only fear

G7               F
I miss Billy the Kid
                  C                    G7
The times that he had the life that he lived
                         F                    C
I guess he must have got caught his innocence lost
                  G7                  C
I wonder where he is I miss Billy the Kid

There's such a thin line between right and wrong

There's only so much you can do as a man
