There was a little boy named Billy
His parents promised him the moon
He grew up wild and crazy
Just him and his balloon
As he grew older and wiser
He had trouble with the law
You'd see his silhouette, staring you down
Hand on his gun ready to draw
You can hear him coming
Horses rumbling through the mountains
It sounds like a stampede, you better run
You can hear his pistol firin'
You can see the police siren
Wild Bill burns brighter than the sun...
Yeah, he's the one
That little boy Billy became a man
All alone with his guitar
He had nothing else to his name
But he was born to be a star
Every day, he played and he practiced
He knew his time would come
He atoned for each and every one of his sins
With every chord he strummed
You can hear him coming
Horses rumbling through the mountains
It sounds like a stampede, you better run
You can hear his pistol firin'
You can see the police siren
Wild Bill burns brighter than the sun...
You can hear him coming
Horses rumbling through the mountains
It sounds like a stampede, you better run
You can hear his pistol firin'
You can see the police siren
Wild Bill burns brighter than the sun...
Yeah, he's the one
