The Secret To A Long Life (is Knowing When It's Time To Go) Lyrics

Billy Barlow was a poor boy
That's why he robbed the Union Grove Bank
He was a sweet talking ladies man
At least that's what he'd have ladies all to think
Oh, the secret to a long life is knowing when it's time to go
So when the posse came riding
Billy went hiding down south
Holed up in a shack with Maria
With the black hair and the ruby-red mouth
Oh, the secret to a long life is knowing when it's time to go
Oh, the secret to a long life is knowing when it's time to go
When this news reached her lover
Billy ran for cover, don't you know
And when the bullets started ringing
Billy started singing "Time to go..."
Oh, the secret to a long life is knowing when it's time to go
Oh, the secret to a long life is knowing when it's time to go
Time to go!
Billy headed north where the sands of the Badlands blow
But in his dreams he's still south
He's still kissing on that ruby-red mouth
Oh, the secret to a long life is knowing when it's time to go
Oh, the secret to a long life is knowing when it's time to go
