Billy The Kid Lyrics

Have to lay me in the street

Gonna have to lay me in the street

Cause there ain't no stopping

There ain't no stopping

Wild child come alive

When the shots are fired

Fifteen years old and I'm ready to die

Got a six shooting pistol clipped on my side

Better lock the doors

You better hide your wife

Alright

Gonna have to lay me in the street

Cause there ain't no stopping

The devil in me

Ain't made a pair of cuffs that can hold me yet

And you just can't cage what you cannot catch

They say the wicked don't sleep

And I ain't tired yet

Think the Sheriff's coming round the way

Pop pop six shots and I ride away

I just ride away

Gonna have to lay me in the streets

Cause there ain't no stopping

The devil in me

The devil in me

As I draw my gun you can take your last breath

Watch the clock strike twelve on another man

They say you got a fast gun

I ain't impressed

Preacher man gonna come to pray

Over another wooden cross in the ground today

So don't test me

Gonna have to lay me in the streets

Gonna have to lay me in the streets

Cause there ain't no stopping

There ain't no stopping no no no

The devil in me

The devil in me
