I was born under a bad moon
Trouble with the law by seventeen
And I learned early couldn't trust nobody but me
My given name was Henry
William is the name I stole
'Bout every man that ever crossed me wound up in a shallow hole
I'm gonna die like an outlaw on the run
Go out reaching for my gun
When the dust is all settled
And my name's chiseled in stone
I'll never be gone cause legends live on
Ain't built a jail that could hold me
And Lord knows they tried
Many men have died trying to take me alive oh but I
I'm gonna die like an outlaw on the run
Go out reaching for my gun
When the dust is all settled
And my name's chiseled in stone
I'll never be gone cause legends live on
Some say I'm the devil
Some say I'm just a kid
But they all say someday I'm gonna die for what I did
I'm gonna die like an outlaw on the run
Go out reaching for my gun
When the dust is all settled
And my name's chiseled in stone
I'll never be gone cause legends live on
