Lyrics
livin on the road my friend
Pancho needs your prayers it s true, they only let him slip away
She began to cry when you said goodbye, the desert s quiet Lefty, cleveland s cold
Pancho needs your prayers it s true, they could ve had him any day, and lefty s livin in cheap hotels
They could ve had him any day, a few gray federales say
They could ve had him any day, the boys tell how old pancho fell, all the federales say
They could ve had him any day, they only let him slip away, lefty split for ohio
Pancho was a bandit boy, all the federales say Pancho, he wore his gun outside his pants
Pancho met his match you know on the deserts down in mexico, he wore his gun outside his pants
The boys tell how old pancho fell, is gonna keep you free and clean
They only let him go so long, he only did what he had to do
your breath as hard as kerosene
His horse was fast as polished steel, lefty split for ohio, pancho was a bandit boy
Now you wear your skin like iron, the day they laid poor pancho low
The desert s quiet, out of kindness i suppose, out of kindness i suppose
They only let him go so long, pancho met his match you know on the deserts down in mexico, all the federales say
Ah but that s the way it goes, out of kindness i suppose, they could ve had him any day
All the federales say, all the federales say
A few gray federales say, you weren t your momma s only boy Pancho, now you wear your skin like iron
all the federales say
pancho needs your prayers it s true
All the federales say, all the federales say
