Young Guns II
Young Guns II is a 1990 western film, and the sequel to Young Guns (1988). It stars Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Christian Slater, and features William Petersen as Pat Garrett. It was written and produced by John Fusco and directed by Geoff Murphy.
It follows the life of Billy the Kid (played by Emilio Estevez), in the years following the Lincoln County War in which Billy was part of "The Regulators" – a group of around six highly skilled gunmen avenging the death of John Tunstall – and the years leading up to Billy's documented death. The film, however, is told by Brushy Bill Roberts, a man who in the 1940s appeared claiming to be the real Billy the Kid.
While the film takes some creative license, it does show some of the main events leading up to Billy's documented death, including his talks with Governor Lew Wallace, his capture by friend-turned-foe Pat Garrett, his trial and his subsequent escape in which he killed two deputies.
Plot
In 1950, attorney Charles Phalen is contacted by an elderly man named "Brushy Bill" Roberts. Brushy Bill tells Phalen that he is dying and wants to receive a pardon that he was promised 70 years before by the Governor of New Mexico. When asked why he wants the pardon, Brushy Bill claims that he is really William H. Bonney aka "Billy The Kid", whom "everyone" knows to have been shot and killed by Pat Garrett in 1881. Phalen then asks if Bill has any proof that he is the famous outlaw.

Bones
by: Young GunsDown under the night sky
I lay in wait
Praying to whoever would listen to me.
I'd fashioned my own cross,
Been crushed by it's weight
There's no stronger message
Than dirt in your face.
I've seen down the end of the road
Now I deal in a different story, oh
And I will never let go again
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I'll do this on my own. (o-o-oh bones o-o-oh bones o-o-oh bones)
They say the spirit's willing
But the flesh is always weak
Well I found everything I needed right beneath my skin - oh.
I've seen down the end of the road
Now I deal in a different story, oh
And I will never let go again
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I'll do this on my own.
[Instrumental]
We're all architects of our own private hell
No-one can hurt us like we hurt ourselves
I've seen down the end of the road
Now I deal in a different story,
And I will never let go again
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
And I know I'm not alone.
