Strapped on my holster low across my hips Two Colt .45's with white plastic grips And I'd head west through our neighborhood And they'd say 'Here comes young Billy And he's up to no good'... yeah I rode a trail through the neighbor's back yard Shooting the bad guys through my handlebars Known for my bravery both far and near Being late for supper was my only fear I miss Billy The Kid The times that he had The life that he lived I guess he must've got caught His innocence lost I wonder where he is I miss Billy The Kid These days I don't know whose side to be on There's such a thin line between right and wrong I live and learn, do the best I can There's only so much you can do as a man I miss Billy The Kid The times that he had The life that he lived I guess he must've got caught His innocence lost Lord, I wonder where he is I miss Billy The Kid I miss Billy The Kid The times that he had The life that he lived I guess he must've got caught His innocence lost Lord, I wonder where he is I miss Billy The Kid

The old home town looks the same As I step down from the train, And there to meet me is my Mama and Papa. Down the road I look and there runs Mary Hair of gold and lips like cherries. It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly. It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. The old house is still standing tho' the paint is cracked and dry, And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on. Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary, Hair of gold and lips like cherries. It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. Then I awake and look around me, At four grey walls that surround me And I realize, yes, I was only dreaming. For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre, Arm in arm, we'll walk at daybreak. Again I touch the green, green grass of home. Yes, they'll all come to see me In the shade of that old oak tree As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home.
