Billy the Kid Lyrics by Three Dog Night

American Pastime

0

[Intro]
(One, two, one, two)
[Verse 1]
Walkin' in the rain, talkin' to the walls
Pretending it's still summer in the fall
I know I'm just your kind
So I wonder, would you mind
My stealing your attention and your time?
[Chorus]
Billy the Kid, I know what you did
Billy the Kid, come on, come on
(Let's have a showdown)
Billy the Kid, I know what you did
Billy the Kid, thrill me, thrill me
(Oh, baby, kill me)
[Bridge]
I was oh, so lonely (Sweet devotion)
(You came along and you gave me the notion)
[Verse 2]
To give it all away and leave it all behind
I'm following my heart and not my mind
Ignoring what they think
Never hear what they say
I'm living out my life from day to day, today
[Chorus]
Billy the Kid, I know what you did
Billy the Kid, come on, come on
(Let's have a showdown)
Billy the Kid, I know what you did
Billy the Kid, thrill me, thrill me
(Oh, baby, kill me)
[Chorus]
Billy the Kid, I know what you did
Billy the Kid, come on, come on
Billy the Kid, I know what you did
Billy the Kid, thrill me, thrill me
(Let's have a showdown)
Billy the Kid, I know what you did
Billy the Kid, come on, come on
(Let's have a showdown)
Billy the Kid, I know what you did
Billy the Kid, thrill me, thrill me
[Outro]
Billy the Kid, I know what you did
Billy the Kid, come on, come on
(Let's have a showdown)
Billy the Kid, I know what you did
Billy the Kid, thrill me, thrill me
(Let's have a showdown)
Billy the Kid, I know what you did
Billy the Kid, come on, come on...
