The Lyrics
(long instrumental opening)
From a town known as Rednecksville, Virginia
rode a boy with a six-gun in his hand
and his paranoided words
showed that he was for the birds
and no respect did he command.
Well, he started with some cans on fence on Dad's farm.
There were 12 lined up, and two cans hit, he did.
And his age and his size, all his bragging it belies.
Soon... the word spread... of Silly the Kid.
Well, his gun, for him, was heavy
and he's doomed to live alone
and he soon put all his macho talk to shame.
And he never had a sweetheart
and was weak up in his dome
but the cowboy-and-the-Indian was his game.
Well, they laughed at him from Roanoke to Norfolk
but their taunts and derides couldn't keep him down.
He was still a nervous wreck
when he enrolled at Virginia Tech
then... a bigger threat came to town.
(long, long instrumental break)
Well, one cold day a killer came toward Silly.
And Silly said, "Stick 'em up!" Oh, yes, he did.
And the bullet that he shot
never came close to the spot.
Next came... the shooting... of Silly the Kid.
Well, his gun, for him, was heavy
and you know he died alone
but he still got vigils with a candle's flame.
And he never had a sweetheart
but he's finally found a home
underneath the Blacksburg grave that bears his name.
From the towns from Hawaii to Long Island
if you're not so scared that you ruined your pants
do you think you'll stop the crime?
Will you pull your gun in time?
Do you really think... you'd have a chance?
(long instrumental close)
