The businessman from Taos wants you to go down
So they hired Mr. Garrett to force you to slow down
Billy, don't it make you feel so low down?
To be hunted by a man who was your friend

Hold on to your woman if you got one
Remember in a past life how you shot one
Way up in Santa Fe, yeah, you bought one
Billy, don't it make you feel so low?

Tired of thinking 'bout the future
Always gotta stay one step ahead
I know many who'd love to introduce you
To a bullet in the head

Tired of thinking 'bout the future
Always gotta stay one step ahead
I know many who'd love to introduce you
To a bullet in your head

People 'round here love to talk about ya
I hope you like the legend you've become
I heard it said in "Truth Or Consequences"
You couldn't be a day past twenty-one
