Eh I By - The Kid Lyrics

Born as Henry McCarty, a boy of the plains,
He grew up fast in the outlaw's reign.
From a troubled youth to a wanted man,
With a six-shooter gripped in his hand.

The West was wild, the days were grim,
But danger and freedom called to him.
From New Mexico's dust to Lincoln's skies,
Billy lived fast, where justice dies.

Billy the Kid, the legend untamed,
A shadow in the night, a fiery name.
Gun in hand, he played his part,
With a wild young soul and an outlaw's heart.

He rode with the Regulators, a rebel's band,
Fighting the law in a ruthless land.
The Lincoln County War made his fame,
A killer, a hero, they called his name.

He was quick on the draw, sharp as a knife,
Living by the code of an outlaw's life.
Yet behind the guns, a boy remained,
Chasing dreams in a world untamed.

Billy the Kid, the legend untamed,
A shadow in the night, a fiery name.
Gun in hand, he played his part,
With a wild young soul and an outlaw's heart.

He danced with death in the desert's heat,
A wanted man, with the law to meet.
Pat Garrett hunted, a friend turned foe,
In Fort Sumner's night, the legend would go.

In a dim-lit room, the final scene,
A single shot, a life's routine.
Some say he laughed, some say he cried,
But the Kid fell still as the West sighed.

Yet stories grew where truth could not,
A figure of myth, a mark he wrought.
For Billy's name, the tales won't fade,
An outlaw born, a legend made.

Billy the Kid, the legend untamed,
A shadow in the night, a fiery name.
Gun in hand, he played his part,
With a wild young soul and an outlaw's heart.

So raise a glass to the dusty trail,
To the outlaw's life, a wandering tale.
Billy the Kid, forever young,
A legend of the West, his story sung.
