living on the road my friend
Is gonna keep you free and clean
Now you wear your skin like iron
Your breath as hard as kerosene
You werent your mamas only boy
But her favorite one it seems
She began to cry when you said goodbye
And sank into your dreams
Pancho was a bandit boys
His horse was fast as polished steel
He wore his gun outside his pants
for all the honest world to feel
Pancho met his match you know on the deserts down in mexico
Nobody heard his dying words
Ah but thats the way it goes
All the federales say they could have had him any day
They only let him slip away out of kindness
I suppose
Lefty
He cant sing the blues all night long like he used to
The dust that pancho bit down south ended up in leftys mouth
The day they laid poor pancho low
Lefty split for ohio
Where he got the bread to go
There aint nobody knows
All the federales say they could have had him any day
They only let him slip away out of kindness
I suppose
Poets tell how pancho fell
And leftys living in a cheap hotel
The deserts quiet and clevelands cold
And so the story ends were told
Pancho needs your prayers its true
But save a few for lefty too
He only did what he had to do
And now hes growing old
All the federales say they could have had him any day
They only let him slip away out of kindness
I suppose
A few gray federales say they could have had him any day
They only let him go so long
Out of of kindness
I suppose
