Me And Billy The Kid (Live At Antone's, Austin, TX / January 22 & 23, 1999)

Me and Billy the Kid

Never got along

I didn't like the way he cocked his hat

And he wore his gun all wrong

We had the same girlfriend

And he never forgot it

She had a cute little chihuahua

Til one day he up and shot it

He rode the hard country

Down the New Mexico line

He had a silver pocket watch

That he never did wind

He crippled a piano player

For playing his favorite song

Yeah, me and Billy the Kid

Just never got along

Me and Billy the Kid

Never got along

I didn't like the way he parted his hair

And he wore his gun all wrong

He was bad to the bone

All hopped up on speed

I would've left him alone

If it wasn't for that senorita

He gave her silver

And he paid her hotel bill

But it was me she loved

She said she always will

I'd always go and see her

When Billy was gone

Yeah, me and Billy the Kid

Never got along

Me and Billy the Kid

never got along

I didn't like the way he tied his shoes

And he wore his gun all wrong

One day, I said to Billy:

"I got this foolproof scheme

We'll rob Wells Fargo

It's busting at the seams"

I admit that I framed him

But I don't feel bad

Because the way I was living

Was driving me mad

Billy reached for his gun

But his gun was on wrong

Yeah, me and Billy the Kid

Just never got along

Me and Billy the Kid

Never got along

But I did like the way he swayed in the wind

When I played him his favorite song

Now my baby sings harmony with me

To "La Cucaracha"

She winds her silver pocket watch

And pets her new chihuahua

I moved into the hotel
