There's guns across the river aimin' at you Lawman on your trail he'd like to catch you Bounty hunters too they'd like to get you Billy they don't like you to be free. Campin' out all night on the veranda Dealin' cards till dawn in the hacienda Up to Boot Hill they'd like to send you Billy don't you turn your back on me. There's mirrors inside the minds of crazy faces Bullet holes an' rifles inside their cases There's always one more notch an' four more aces Billy an' you're playin' all alone. Playin' around with some sweet señorita Into her dark hallway she will lead you In the shadows of the mesa she will greet you Billy you been runnin' for so long. They say that Pat Garrett's got your number So sleep with one eye open when you wander If every little sound just might be thunder Thunder from the barrel of his gun. Gypsy queens will play your grand finale Way down in some Tularosa alley Maybe in the rio Pecos valley In the days when you were better known. The businessmen from Taos want you to go down So they've hired Mr Garrett, he'll force you to slow down Billy don't it make you feel so low down To be hunted by the man who was your friend. So hang on to your woman if you got one Remember in El Paso once you shot one Up in Santa Fe she was a hot one Billy you been runnin' for so long. Gypsy queens will play your grand finale Billy you been so far from home Billy you're so far away from home.
