Bob Dylan - Billy 1 Lyrics
Theres guns across the river aimin at yaLawman on your trail, hed like to catch yaBounty hunters, too, theyd like to get yaBilly, they dont like you to be so free.Campin out all night on the berendaDealin cards til dawn in the haciendaUp to boot hill theyd like to send yaBilly, dont you turn your back on me.Playin around with some sweet senoritaInto her dark hallway she will lead yaIn some lonesome shadows she will greet yaBilly, youre so far away from home.Theres eyes behind the mirrors in empty placesBullet holes and scars between the spacesTheres always one more notch and ten more pacesBilly, and youre walkin all alone.They say that pat garretts got your numberSo sleep with one eye open when you slumberEvery little sound just might be thunderThunder from the barrel of his gun.Guitars will play your grand finaleDown in some tularosa alley,Maybe in the rio pecos valleyBilly, youre so far away from home.Theres always some new stranger sneakin glancesSome trigger-happy fool willin to take chancesAnd some old whore from san pedro to make advancesAdvances on your spirit and your soul.The businessmen from taos want you to go downTheyve hired pat garrett to force a showdown.Billy, dont it make ya feel so low-downTo be shot down by the man who was your friend?Hang on to your woman if you got oneRemember in el paso, once, you shot one.She may have been a whore, but she was a hot oneBilly, you been runnin for so long.Guitars will play your grand finaleDown in some tularosa alleyMaybe in the rio pecos valleyBilly, youre so far away from home.
