lirik lagu steve earle - pancho & lefty
[verse 1]
living on the road, my friend
was going to keep you free and clean
now you wear your skin like iron
your breath’s as hard as kerosene
you weren’t your mama’s only boy
but her favourite one it seems
she began to cry when you said goodbye
and sank into your dreams
pancho was a bandit boys
his horse was fast as polished steel
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
n0body heard his dying words
that’s the way it goes
[chorus]
all the federales say
could have had him any day
they only let him hang around
out of kindness i suppose
[verse 2]
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 n0body knows
[chorus]
[verse 3]
poets tell how pancho fell
lefty’s living in a cheap hotel
the desert’s quiet and cleveland’s cold
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
[chorus]
[outro]
a few gray federales say
could have had him any day
they only let him hang around
out of kindness i suppose
