Well I heard you in the back room 
 Your friends had a laugh on me 
 Passed my name through the cantina 
 Yeah your face was hard to read 
 Something in your demeanor 
 Should of given you away 
 But I was desperate for a friend 
 I was getting used to making mistakes 

 Well I went down hard 
 Like Billy the Kid 
 Yeah, I went down hard 
 Yeah, but I got up again 

 I remember you my baby 
 I remember you so well 
 And your house out in the suburbs 
 You had your wishing well 
 They say be careful who you believe 
 Be careful who you trust 
 Did you smile when you pulled the trigger 
 That dropped me in the dust 

 Well, I went down hard 
 Like Billy the Kid 
 Yeah, I went down hard 
 Yeah, but I got up again 

 Well, you caught me in the bedroom 
 Cotton fever in a sweat 
 I was fighting for recovery 
 But I wasn't giving up yet 
 You offered no assistance 
 Yeah, you looked at me and you lied 
 Oh it really stunned me 
 When you went to the other side 

 I went down hard 
 Like Billy the Kid 
 Yeah, I went down hard 
 Oh, but I got up again
