To Describe
Billy it was years before,
When we found you, you were young but torn.
x
I could see it in your eyes,
You never had that fear that you might die
x
You were brave and crazy as it seemed
You did the impossible because to you, that's what living meaned
x
Gun shot left
Gun shot right
Most of us were scared to even sleep at night
x
But not you, you always had a plan
Even though you were only a boy, you have the bravery of a full grown man
x
But now look what happened to all of us,
Chavez and I are all you've got
x
You took in that young boy Tom
Came off the Orphan train and had no Dad or Mom
x
You treated him like a brother
He looked up to you as if you were his fathe
x
He tried to be like you and read as much into you
He knew more about you then Chavez and I do
x
You told him stories of fights that you had
Told him even some about your past
x
Sometimes even I'll admit
I stayed up late to hear the snipets
x
Pretended as if I was asleep
To hear all about your boyish dreams
x
But then that day came
Pat Garett was part of your game
x
He tried to shoot you dead
But he made a big mistake instead
x
Tom fell to the ground
I remember you screaming out so loud
x
That's when I saw you Billy, crack and break.
Your eyes became as glazed over as a cake
x.
That's when your eyes changed, they didnt hold bravery anymore
Just sadness
x
No bravery
Just sadness
x
That was your biggest mistake
x
Now you skit and skat
Almost like a rat
x
You don't think you just do
Because you feel like you owe to Tom to
x
Were falling quick,
x
So, Billy grab your guns
It won't be long before were all hung
