Lyrics Pancho and Lefty

Livin' 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

Weren't your momma's 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 boy

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 dyin' words

But that's the way it goes

And all the Federales say they could've had him any day

They only let him slip away

Out of kindness I suppose

Suppose

Lefty he can't sing the blues all night long like he used to

The dust that Pancho bit down south ended up in Lefty's mouth

The day they laid poor Pancho low

Lefty split for Ohio

Where he got the bread to go

There ain't nobody knows

And all the Federales say they could've had him any day

We only let him slip away

Out of kindness I suppose

The boys tell how Pancho fell and Lefty's livin' in cheap hotels

The desert's quiet

Cleveland's cold and so the story ends

We're told

Pancho needs your prayers it's true

But save a few for Lefty too

He only did what he had to do and now he's growing old

They only let him go so long out of kindness I suppose

A few grey Federales say they could have had him any day

They only let him go so long out of kindness I suppose out of kindness I suppose
