Just Like Billy the Kid

(Verse 1) I ride into town with my boots kicked up high Got a reputation that money can't buy The sheriff knows my name, got my face on the wall But I'm the kind of trouble that makes good girls fall

(Verse 2) I've got silver spurs and a heart made of steel Pack a .45 and I know how to deal When the sun goes down and the whiskey flows free All the ladies in town want to ride out with me

(Chorus) Just like Billy the Kid, I'm wild and I'm free Living fast and dangerous as dangerous can be Got that outlaw swagger, got that rebel soul Just like Billy the Kid, I'm out of control Yeah, I'm wanted dead or alive But baby, I'm so good at staying alive

(Verse 3) Got a black stallion and a leather jacket worn Been raising hell since the day I was born The preacher man warns them to stay away But they keep on coming back anyway

(Chorus) Just like Billy the Kid, I'm wild and I'm free Living fast and dangerous as dangerous can be Got that outlaw swagger, got that rebel soul Just like Billy the Kid, I'm out of control Yeah, I'm wanted dead or alive But baby, I'm so good at staying alive

(Bridge) When the dust settles and the smoke clears away I'll be long gone by the break of day But you'll remember my name when the story gets told About the outlaw with a heart of gold

(Final Chorus) Just like Billy the Kid, I'm wild and I'm free Living fast and dangerous as dangerous can be Got that outlaw swagger, got that rebel soul Just like Billy the Kid, I'm out of control Yeah, I'm wanted dead or alive But baby, I'm so good at staying alive Just like Billy the Kid
