[00:00.00]Pancho and Lefty - Steve Earle
[00:08.66]Livin' on the road my friend
[00:12.71]Was gonna keep you free and clean
[00:16.82]And now you wear your skin like iron
[00:20.42]And your breath as hard as kerosene
[00:24.74]Weren't you mama's only boy
[00:27.54]But her favorite one it seems
[00:31.76]She began to cry when you said goodbye
[00:39.16]Sank into your dreams
[00:45.54]Pancho was a bandit boy
[00:49.75]His horse was fast as polished steel
[00:53.29]He wore his gun outside his pants
[00:57.11]For all the honest world to feel
[01:01.73]Pancho met his match you know
[01:04.58]On the deserts down in Mexico
[01:09.40]Nobody heard his dyin' words
[01:16.20]But that's the way it goes
[01:22.57]All the federales say
[01:26.72]Could they had him any day
[01:30.57]They only let him hang around
[01:36.65]Out of kindness I suppose
[01:43.71]Lefty he can't sing the blues
[01:47.65]All night long like he used to
[01:51.11]The dust that Pancho bit down south
[01:55.17]Ended up in lefty's mouth
[01:59.76]The day they laid poor Pancho low
[02:03.22]Lefty split for Ohio
[02:07.19]Where he got the bread to go
[02:13.17]Ahh there ain't nobody knows
[02:20.61]All the federales say
[02:24.73]Could they had him any day
[02:28.67]We only let him slip away
[02:34.69]Out of kindness I suppose
[02:41.49]The poets tell how Pancho fell
[02:45.68]And lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel
[02:48.96]The desert's quiet and cleveland's cold
[02:53.59]And so the story ends we're told
[02:57.70]Pancho needs your prayers it's true
[03:00.99]But save a few for lefty too
[03:05.18]He only did what he had to do
[03:11.68]And now he's growin' old
[03:18.81]All the federales say
[03:22.75]Could they had him any day
[03:26.61]They only let him go so long
[03:32.48]Out of kindness I suppose
[03:39.02]A few gray federales say
[03:43.64]Could they had him any day
[03:47.66]We only let him hang around
[03:53.59]Out of kindness I suppose
