lyrics

Born in a dust bowl
Wrapped in sand and grit

Hungry and angry
That he lived the life he lived

His mama died screaming
As they closed her coffin lid

His father was diving
Down a bottle of gin

But then without a warning
A neighbor tried to whore him
With no one left to watch him
Grabbed daddy’s gun and shot him

When Billy Was A Kid

He made the whole world
Bend towards his will

Made sure everyone
Would suffer like he did

Rode into town and killed
Who he had to kill

As they lay dying
He’d ride off with a grin

But then without a warning
A sheriff aimed and shot him
The whole town stood and watched him
And said at last we got him.

When Billy Was a Kid
