Young Guns
Each night I go to bed
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No I ain't looking for forgiveness
But before I'm six foot deep
Lord, I got to ask a favor
And I'll hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let the boy die like a man...
Staring down the bullet
Let me make my final stand
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
and I'm no one's son
Call me young gun...
Each night I go to bed
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No I ain't looking for forgiveness
But before I'm six foot deep
Lord, I got to ask a favor
And I'll hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let the boy die like a man...
1879, White Oaks, New Mexico: the arrest rate is at it's highest. Pat Garett is Sheriff of this God-forsaken town. He and his men are doing as best job as they can, trying to shape it up in to a respectable place. This is a tough task and with only a few men, it makes it even harder. Especially due to the worst outlaw of all residing just outside of White Oaks in the abandoned farm...Billy The Kid.
That's right, Billy The Kid, William H. Boney. But he's not alone. Oh no, he isn't one bit. He has a band of brothers, sibling slingshooters, coherting comrades, fellow...well, you get the drift. They are all close because of one thing that binds them. One, their age, they're all too young to be alone, and two, they ARE alone. They have no choice, they have all lost the people they thought would be there forever, whether it be a parent or a lover, all they have left is each other.
But that's not entirely factual. Some of the citizens of White Oak actually like the Outlaws more than they do the Law. Some of citizens will go so far as to hide an Outlaw in their cupboard to stop them from being caught. Other's will rat that Outlaw out straight away and there are the few who just walk in the opposite direction and ignore all things to do with the Outlaws and the Law.
The only others that have no allience are the Bounty Hunters. They take the side of money. They are usually cold and try to have no emotion to what is happening and just do the job they are payed to do, which is usually to kill and enemy of the person who hired them.
Staring down the bullet
Let me make my final stand
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
and I'm no one's son
