An instrumental from the "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" soundtrack, its subtitle pointing to Garrett's turn from outlaw to lawman in the film.
The words
A relaxed, slightly uneasy groove plays like music heard in a frontier saloon.
There are no words here; it is a short piece of incidental music from the film. A loose rhythm and gentle guitar figures create the feel of a smoky cantina, easygoing on the surface but with an undercurrent of tension. The melody turns over and over rather than developing. Its title recalls the story at the heart of the film, of a former outlaw now working for the law and hunting his old friend.
