This song is based on a legend about Billy the Kid. He had told his gang that there was an old trail that led to Mexico that could get them to safety. The name of the trail was actually the name of a lady of ill repute in Old Mexico and the trail was a lie, it did not exist and The Mexican Blackbird took many of them to their grave.

"First Step" balances the raw honesty of traditional country with a modern musical approach, creating a distinctive sound. Long's songwriting abilities shine through each track, whether it's a soulful ballad or a lively country-rock anthem. His lyrics are thoughtful and relatable, speaking to universal themes of love, loss, and the simple pleasures of life. First Step achieves a polished yet natural sound that respects the authenticity of Long's raw talent and the musical style. The instrumentation is well-arranged, and the balance between the instruments and Long's voice is well maintained throughout.
Leon Long's first release, First Steps is a collection of five songs, including four that can only be found here as they have yet to be released to any streaming platforms. All five songs were produced and recorded by Jonathan Lawhon of Blackstone Cherry fame.
