[Political Junkie Too]

Joel often points to that one as an example of his worst lyric writing, a "I don't know what I was thinking" moment.

From a town known
As Wheeling, West Virginia
Rode a boy with a six-gun in his hand
And his daring life of crime
Made him a legend in his time
East and west of the Rio Grande

Joel eventually figured out that the Rio Grande flows mostly south at the United States border.

But it rhymed.

Any man left on the Rio Grande, is the King of the World, as far as I know.

[Tired of Taxes]

He really knew how to tell a story with his music.

Even though his “Billy the Kid” was inaccurate, it’s another favorite.
