Me & Billy The Kid Lyrics - Lord Of The Highway - Joe Ely

Well, 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 

Well, we had the same girlfriend and he never forgot it 

She had a cute little chihuahua 'till 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 playin' his favorite song 

Yeah, me and Billy The Kid, we ain't never got along 

Yeah, me and Billy The Kid never got along 

I didn't like the way he buckled his belt 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 see her whenever Billy was gone 

Yeah, me and Billy The Kid, we never got along 

Yeah, me and Billy The Kid never got along 

I didn't like the way he buckled his boots 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 bustin' at the seams" 

I admit that I framed him, I don't feel no remorse 

It was just my way of gettin' even with the man who shot my horse 

Yeah, Billy reached for his gun but his gun was on wrong 

Yeah, me and Billy The Kid, we never got along. 

Well, me and Billy The Kid never got along 

But I did like the way he swayed in the wind while 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, I got a room with a shower 

We lay and listen to that watch tick hour after hour 

Outside, I hear the wind blowin' oh-so strong 

Me and Billy The Kid, we never got along 

We never got along
