THE BACKOO BOYS

By BukiCee
THE BACKOO BOYS
Me and my little brother Joe
Decided it was time to go
We had enough of life out on the farm

We got our best friends Bill and Cy
Kissed our moms and dads goodbye
We left and never meant to do no harm

But now we're runnin' and runnin' and runnin'
They`re following for sure
And we'll be runnin' and runnin` and runnin'
Til we just can't run anymore

On the road we laughed and sang
Called ourselves the Backoo gang
Cause Backoo was the place where we came from

We hit Tombstone on the fly
Braggin' 'bout the things we'd buy
We got wine an' whiskey and we got guns

But now we're runnin' and runnin' and runnin'
They`re followin for sure
And we'll be runnin' and runnin` and runnin'
Til we just can't run anymore

We spent our money makin' noise
'' All for one'' the ''Backoo Boys''
Decided to rob a bank , see how we'd fare
The sherrif shot my brother down
Before we hit the edge of town
I kept ridin' I was just too scared.

And then we were runnin' and runnin' and runnin'
They were followin' for sure
And we'll be runnin' and runnin` and runnin'
Til we just can't run anymore

When we got a ways ahead
I could see Cy's shirt was red
And he was holdin' to his side
We could see that he'd been hit
We tried to get him down to sit
Soon as he touched the ground he died

And then we were runnin' and runnin' and runnin'
They were followin' for sure
And we'll be runnin' and runnin` and runnin'
Til we just can't run anymore

Bill said he was going home
That I'd have to ride alone
He was gonna see his folks before he died
I watched him ride on outta sight
My heart was numb my throat was tight
I just got off my horse and cried

Then I was runnin' and runnin' and runnin'
They're followin' for sure
And I'll be runnin' and runnin' and runnin'
Til I just can't run anymore

(change in tempo for dramatic emphasis)
So listen all you hardheaded children
With your name and your gang and your gun(pause)
You better learn how to hate (pause)
You better learn to shoot straight (pause)
And then you better learn how to run

(optional )
'Cause you'll be Runnin' and runnin' and runnin'
They'll be followin' for sure
And you'll be be runnin' and runnin' and runnin'
Til you just can't run anymore
