Pancho and Lefty - Countdown Nashville
Living on the road my friend,
Was gonna keep you free and clean.
Now you wear your skin like iron,
Your breath as hard as kerosene.
Weren't your mama's only boy,
Favorite one it seems.
She began to cry when you said goodbye,
Sank into your dreams.
Pancho was a bandit boy,
Horse was fast as polished steel
Wore his gun outside his pants
All the honest world to feel.
Pancho met his match you know
On the deserts down in Mexico,
Nobody heard his dying words,
But that's the way it goes.
All the Federales say
Could had any day
Only let him slip away
Kindness I suppose.
Lefty, he can't sing the blues
All night long like he used to.
Dust that Pancho bit down south
Ended up in Lefty's mouth
Day they laid poor Pancho low
Lefty split for Ohio
Where he got the bread to go,
Ain't nobody knows.
All the Federales say
Could have had him any day.
Only let him slip away
Kindness, I suppose.
Poets tell how Pancho fell,
Lefty's living in cheap hotels
Desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold,
So the story ends we're told.
Pancho needs your prayers It's true,
But save a few for Lefty too.
Only did what he had to do,
And now he's growing old.
All the Federales say
Could have had him any day.
Only let him go so long
Kindness, I suppose.
Gray Federales say
Could have had him any day
Only let him go so long
Out of kindness, I suppose.
