A	B
Living on	the road my friend
Was gonna keep you	free and clean
Now you wear	your skin like iron
Your breath's as hard	as kerosene
You weren't your	momma's only boy
But her favorite	one it seems
She began to cry	when you said good-bye
And sank into	your dreams
Pancho was a	bandit boys
His horse was fast	as polished steel
He wore his gun	outside his pants
For all the honest	world to feel
But Pancho met	his match you know
On the desert	down in Mexico
Nobody heard his	dying words
But that's the way	it goes
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	nobody knows
All the Federales say	we coulda had him any day
We only let him slip away	out of kindness, I suppose
The 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
