Billy's Rise, Billy's Rose

country rock, arena rock, outlaw country

[Guitar Hit]                                                                                                               [Verse 2]
Then the floorboards trembled with a heavy sound
Twenty stallions screaming, shaking the ground
A leather-clad army through the swingin' door
Bringing a fight we didn't ask for

[Pre-Chorus]
The leader’s acting mean, bumping every glass
Dragging that girl like a ghost in the grass
She’s a knockout beauty in a world of hurt
While he’s treating her like nothing but dirt
[]                                                                                                                Chorus)
Billy’s Rise, Billy’s Rose
That’s the way the legend goes!
He’s got a heart of iron and a soul of fire
A single red flower for a heart’s desire!
One hand on the iron, one hand on the rose
He’s the only law that Lincoln County knows!
                                                                                                                   [Guitar Solo]                                                                                                                [Verse 3]
The regulars watched, they’d seen that look before
Billy finishes his glass and he heads for the door
He’s back in a heartbeat with a rose in his hand
Walking straight up to where the leader stands

[Guitar Hit]                                                                                                                 [Verse 4 - The Surrender]
The leader went pale as the name went 'round
Realizing whose boots were on that dusty ground
He dropped his hold, he didn't want the fight
He’d give up his soul just to survive the night

[The Bridge - The Moment]
Billy laid the rose softly in her hand
Said, “A lady deserves more than a hard-hearted man”
She looked up at him, tears in her eyes
As the whole saloon watched “The Kid” arise

[Chorus]
Billy’s Rise, Billy’s Rose
That’s the way the legend goes!
He’s got a heart of iron and a soul of fire
A single red flower for a heart’s desire!
One hand on the iron, one hand on the rose
He’s the only law that Lincoln County knows!
