Living on the road my friend
G
Is gonna keep you free and clean
F
Now you wear your skin like iron
C G
Your breath as hard as kerosene
F
Weren't your mama's only boy
C F
But her favorite one it seems
Am F C G
She began to cry when you said goodbye
F Am G
And sank into your dreams
C G
Pancho was a bandit boys his horse was fast as polished steel
F
He wore his gun outside his pants
C G
For all the honest world to feel
F C F
Pancho met his match you know on the deserts down in Mexico
Am F C G F Am G
Nobody heard his dying words ah but that's the way it goes
F C F
All the Federales say they could have had him any day
Am F C G F Am G
They only let him slip away out of kindness I suppose
C G
Lefty he can't sing the blues all night long like he used to
F C G
The dust that Pancho bit down south ended up in Lefty's mouth
F C F
The day they laid poor Pancho low Lefty split for Ohio
Am F C G F Am G
Where he got the bread to go there ain't nobody knows
F C F
All the Federales say could have had him any day
Am F C G F Am G
They only let him slip away out of kindness I suppose
SOLO
C G
Poets tell how Pancho fell and Lefty's living in a cheap hotel
F
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold,
C G
And so the story ends we're told
F C F
Pancho needs your prayers it's true but save a few for Lefty too
Am F C G F Am G
He only did what he had to do and now he's growing old
F C F
All the Federales say could have had him any day
Am F C G F Am G
We only let him slip away out of kindness I suppose
F C F
A few gray Federales say could have had him any day
Am F C G F Am
We only only let him go so long out of of kindness I suppose
