And his daring life of crime made him a legend in his time.. East and west of the Rio Grande.

He gets knocked a lot, but Joel is a great songwriter.

Historically inaccurate, but WTF. Great song.

On a small Missouri farm
Back when the west was young
Two boys learned to rope and ride
And be handy with a gun

War broke out between the states
And they joined up with Quantrill
And it was over in Clay county
That Frank and Jesse finally learned to kill

Historically inaccurate,

I didn't think the song was about William Bonney but a fictionalized Billy the Kid or a Long Islander dreaming about about being an outlaw.


And people typically refer north or south of the Rio Grande since it represent the South of the Border or Mexico's northern border.

The entire Piano Man album is great.
