Marty Stuart - Me And Billy The Kid lyrics

Written by Joe Ely Me and Billy the Kid never got along I didn't like the way he co*ked his head and he wore his gun all wrong 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 he never did wind. He crippled the piano player for playin' his favorite song Yeah, me and Billy the Kid never got along Me and Billy the Kid never got along I didn't like the way he parted his hair 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 hadn't been for that Senorita He gave her silver and he paid her hotel bill But it was me that she loved and she said she always will. I'd always go and see her when Billy was gone And me and Billy the Kid never got along Me and Billy the Kid never got along I didn't like the way he tied his shoes and he wore his gun all wrong One day I said to Billy "I've got this foolproof scheme" We'll rob Wells Fargo "It's just bustin at the seams." I admit that I framed him but I don't feel so bad 'Cause the way I was livin' was drivin' me mad Billy reached for his gun but his gun was on wrong Me and Billy the Kid never got along Me and Billy the Kid never got along But I like the way he swayed in the wind when I played him his favorite song Now my baby sings with me to "La Cucaracha" She winds her silver pocket watch and pets her new Chihuahua I moved in to the hotel got a room with a shower We lay and listen to that watch tick hour after hour Outside I hear the wind blowin' away so strong Me and Billy the Kid never got along
