Well, since im from Las Cruces, NM, and have been incarcerated at our detention center here (unfortunately) it is obvious that the person who wrote this song wasn't in the same place I was. Since there are no windows it would be hard for the wind to whistle through. Yes it is without a shadow of a doubt about Billy the Kid. Not only because of the things others have mentioned but also because Las Cruces (and Mesilla) are where the Kid use to run. Billy is buried about 15-20 minutes driving distance away from Las Cruces at Fort Seldon. As a matter of fact my very good friend has a pool table that the kid used to play on. It has a secret compartment at one end that drops down. Judging by its size and with knowledge of his lifestyle we have theorized that this is where he kept a gun...just in case.
