Steve Earle - Pancho And Lefty |
| [00:24.30] |
Livin' on the road, my friend |
| [00:28.05] |
Was gonna keep you free and clean |
| [00:32.07] |
And now you wear your skin like iron |
| [00:35.94] |
And your breath as hard as kerosene |
| [00:38.64] |
Weren't you mama's only boy |
| [00:43.56] |
But her favorite one, it seems |
| [00:47.97] |
She began to cry when you said, "Goodbye" |
| [00:55.71] |
Sank into your dreams |
| [01:01.44] |
Pancho was a bandit, boy |
| [01:05.25] |
His horse was fast as polished steel |
| [01:09.06] |
He wore his gun outside his pants |
| [01:12.99] |
For all the honest world to feel |
| [01:17.10] |
Pancho met his match, you know |
| [01:20.31] |
On the deserts down in Mexico |
| [01:24.72] |
Nobody heard his dyin' words |
| [01:31.80] |
But that's the way it goes |
| [01:37.92] |
All the federales say |
| [01:38.82] |
"They could have had him any day" |
| [01:45.39] |
They only let him slip away |
| [01:51.54] |
Out of kindness, I suppose |
| [01:58.26] |
Lefty he can't sing the blues |
| [02:01.74] |
All night long like he used to |
| [02:04.53] |
The dust that Pancho bit down south |
| [02:10.17] |
Ended up in lefty's mouth |
| [02:15.54] |
The day they laid poor Pancho low |
| [02:17.70] |
Lefty split for Ohio |
| [02:21.75] |
Where he got the bread to go |
| [02:28.50] |
There ain't nobody knows |
| [02:34.62] |
All the federales say |
| [02:35.70] |
"They could have had him any day" |
| [02:42.15] |
We only let him slip away |
| [02:44.37] |
Out of kindness, I suppose |
| [03:21.15] |
The poets tell how Pancho fell |
| [03:24.93] |
And lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel |
| [03:28.95] |
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold |
| [03:32.73] |
And so the story ends, we're told |
| [03:37.02] |
Pancho needs your prayers, it's true |
| [03:40.50] |
But save a few for lefty, too |
| [03:44.37] |
He only did what he had to do |
| [03:46.68] |
And now he's growin' old |
| [03:52.65] |
All the federales say |
| [03:53.07] |
"We could have had him any day" |
| [04:05.13] |
They only let him go so long |
| [04:07.05] |
Out of kindness, I suppose |
| [04:17.61] |
A few old gray federales say |
| [04:21.72] |
"Could have had him any day" |
| [04:25.26] |
We only let him go so long |
| [04:27.48] |
Out of kindness, I suppose |
