Tom Ebelt songs
Back when my buddy Wil and I were a duo, we had a gig cancel at the last minute, so we just sat around that evening griping and drinking beer, when Wil started pening this song. I threw in a couple of words and phrases and we put the arrangement together and came up with this.

BILLY THE KID
If I was a cowboy I'd ride all alone
Just my horse, no real home.
I'd carry a six-gun right by my side
An an old wooden six string wrapped in cowhide.
(chorus)
And what does it matter, what if it did
Just like Billy the Kid
When it all comes to nothing, all my treasures are hid
I'll die just like Billy the Kid - woah, woah
Only ride into town when the sun goes down
Then I take what I want as if it were free.
I'll steal your money like I steal your love
Leave only my name for you to think of.
I've seen the bottom of many a bottle
And though I find nothing, I still seem to look there.
But I have found gold in the heart of the desert
And I guess you will too, if you ever got stuck there.
(chorus)
If Geronemo was a good friend of Custer's
Then they could go drinkin' at the Alamo.
I'd bring John Wayne and the Lone Ranger's brother
He don't wear a mask, but he loves his mother.
