    My name's Robert and as a kid I wrote him a letter and asked for his autograph, he sent me a life sized poster, a picture, all autographed, even a tape of his music.
    That meant the world to me as a kid, still makes me cry to this day he took the time to do so much for me.
    I'm 40 now.

      So true, Mark G. The music was the best thing about the mid '80's, through the early 2000's. There was a lot more heart, and soul, in it. I see a lot more of that, here, than I hear in the airwaves.

    Just lost my mom a few hours ago. Just thinkin back to this time, when mom and dad were at home and could stop by and have a conversation. Just dont realize how good things are till they get into the past. Seemed like there was always safety when you were with them. Funny thing, how it feels like you are alone after they depart, now you are the adult, taking their place, with children of your own, and you know you are next in line. wish I could go back there, if just for a little while, to tell them how much they mean to me. Mom lived nearly a century, can you imagine how she felt with all she has seen come to pass?

      Same here. My sister and I saw him when he was first starting out (late 80's early 90's) and no one really knew who he was. We got to sit and listen to him do sound check and he asked both of us if we could hear him ok back where we were sitting as we were the only one's in the concert area at the time. He gave us each one of his guitar picks and we still have them to this day. Course we pissed our mother off cause this was pre cell phone days and we were supposed to be outside the fair waiting for her at a certain time but when we told her what we were doing she was cool with it course we were two teenagers who knew better than to piss our mother off but she is a cool lady once she gets the facts.

    This song makes me miss good country music with writing about real life! I did a job out in Carlsbad, NM for XTO and every morning I rode to the jobsite, I realized the sunrise I saw could have been what Billy the Kid saw. After the job, I bought an Uberti replica Colt .45 just to experience what Billy the Kid shot. Everytime I pull the trigger this is the song that enters my head. “My innocence must have got lost”.

    This song is a memory of my childhood. Summer of '93 , me and my friends Kyle, and Parnell had our cap guns holstered, saddled up on our bikes and went looking for outlaws. I remember I was the sheriff and Kyle wanted to be Billy the kid. We argued for a while about whether or not Billy the kid was an outlaw or good guy. We started quoting lyrics from this song. I insisted he was an outlaw because it said "I guess he must have got caught. His innocence lost". Kyle insisted that he was a good guy because it said "shooting the bad guys through my handlebars". We agreed that he could be my deputy and be Billy the kid too. We tied some twine from a low tree limb and hung some of our action figures. I still remember explaining to Mom that the G.I. Joes were outlaws.

    If I had one wish, it's that my children could've grown up with the freedom I had as a child. Even in the early 90s, nobody batted an eye at a young boy riding his bike alone. No parents had to be present when every kid in the neighborhood got together and played massive games of tag through the entire neighborhood. We drank from hoses and didn't come inside until the streetlights came on.

    I remember when this song came out and it's gotten better as I've "grown up". He popped in and played this song and one other at a cancer telethon in my city simply because he had heard about it and wanted to help. :)

    What grown man doesn't identify with this song?! We chased that dream of adulthood, only to have it turn to ashes upon our tongues once in our grasp. Oh how I wish reincarnation was real, a chance to do it all over again knowing what I know now!

    When I was younger I thought this song was about Billy the Kid the outlaw. I think it was because the 'Young Guns' films were popular around that time.

      Same! But then I got older and as Dennis said I listened more to the lyrics and realized it was about both of them. When I was a kid I thought the lyrics were “I guess he must’ve got shot” lol
