So,
I yelled to Billy,
hey Kid,
go get me my Colt
he came back with my horse
and of course
them cowpokes and even those
slow folks
laughed.

they ran me out of town
slowly
because it was the old me
in the Old West.

To get off the dole
I got a job
selling vacuum cleaners
down
in the dustbowl
wow
did I clean up.

but I fuked it up
bought a Peacemaker
and shot Billy up

they's fixing to hang me
at Noon.
