Lyrics:
Verse 1
Out in the desert, under the sky so wide,
Young Billy runs, with fire in his stride,
Pistols gleam in the dying sun,
Chased by shadows, a life on the run.
From Lincoln's ashes, the war was born,
The boy with a gun, the outlaw sworn,
To right the wrongs with lead and steel,
In a world where mercy's not real.
Chorus
Billy the Kid, a legend untamed,
Riding the winds, with death to be claimed,
Bullets and blood, the West he defies,
Fallen too young, yet his spirit never dies!
Verse 2
They called him a killer, a devil’s hand,
But Billy was more, just a boy turned man,
Betrayed by the law, by friends and fate,
He fought for justice, but met his gate.
In Fort Sumner, on a fateful night,
Pat Garrett stalked with death in sight,
A gunshot rang, in the darkened room,
The Kid fell silent, embraced his doom.
Chorus
Billy the Kid, a legend untamed,
Riding the winds, with death to be claimed,
Bullets and blood, the West he defies,
Fallen too young, yet his spirit never dies!
Bridge
Outlaw or hero, the truth unknown,
The lines were blurred, where shadows are grown,
He died with his boots, gun in his hand,
But his story echoes across the land.
Final Chorus
Billy the Kid, a legend untamed,
Riding the winds, with death to be claimed,
Bullets and blood, the West he defies,
Fallen too young, yet his spirit never dies!
