"From a town known as Oyster Bay, Long Island,
Rode a boy with a six-pack in his hand..."

It was the last (self-parody) verse of his "The Ballad of Billy the
Kid", on the "Piano Man" album.

Keep on singing,

The song is "Billy The Kid".
The first verse is:
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

And the last verse:


From a town known as Oyster Bay, Long Island

Rode a boy with a six-pack in his hand

And his daring life of crime
Made him a legend in his time
East and west of the Rio Grande
