A stupid joke has dragged your life Into a hunt and you were the prey Hangin' you it was the plan But first they had to catch you An escape artist Perhaps a steel cell can stop your run Left-Handed Gun An old picture has created a fake tale Terror running down the streets Of Lincoln's county They call you Billy the Kid A bounty on your head Terror running down the streets Of Lincoln's county They call you Billy the Kid A killer on the run At that time, justice and law Where so far to be synonymous A bunch of cowboys grab their guns Just a wrongdoing to face toward A furious chase Conducted along a paved road of hate In vengeance's name Righteous lives got blasted by your slugs Terror running down the streets Of Lincoln's county They call you Billy the Kid A bounty on your head Terror running down the streets Of Lincoln's county They call you Billy the Kid A killer on the run Not afraid to die like a man Fighting as I'm standing above snakes I won't die while crying for my life Crawling in the dust like a dog unarmed Terror running down the streets Of Lincoln's county They call you Billy the Kid A bounty on your head Terror running down the streets Of Lincoln's county They call you Billy the Kid A killer on the run
