Well I heard you in the back roomYour friends had a laugh on mePassed my name through the cantinaYeah your face was hard to readSomething in your demeanorShould of given you awayBut I was desperate for a friendI was getting used to making mistakesWell I went down hardLike Billy the KidYeah, I went down hardYeah, but I got up againI remember you my babyI remember you so wellAnd your house out in the suburbsYou had your wishing wellThey say be careful who you believeBe careful who you trustDid you smile when you pulled the triggerThat dropped me in the dustWell, I went down hardLike Billy the KidYeah, I went down hardYeah, but I got up againWell, you caught me in the bedroomCotton fever in a sweatI was fighting for recoveryBut I wasn't giving up yetYou offered no assistanceYeah, you looked at me and you liedOh it really stunned meWhen you went to the other sideI went down hardLike Billy the KidYeah, I went down hardOh, but I got up again
