[00:16.50]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
