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 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 These days I don't know whose side to be on There's such a thin line between right and wrong F I live and learn do the best I can C There's only so much you can do as a man 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 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
