Testo Pancho and Lefty - Willie Nelson feat. Merle Haggard & Toby Keith
Testo della canzone Pancho and Lefty (Willie Nelson feat. Merle Haggard & Toby Keith), tratta dall'album Outlaws and Angels (Live At Wiltern Theatre, Los Angeles 2004)
Living on the road, my friend
Was gonna keep you, free and clean
Now, you wear your skin like iron
Your breath, 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, "Goodbye"
And sank, into your dreams
Pancho was a bandit boy
His horse was fast as polished steel
He 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
Nobody heard his dying words
But that's the way it goes
All the Federales say
They could've had him, any day
They only let him, slip away
Out of kindness, I suppose
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
They could've had him, any day
They only let him, slip away
Out of kindness, I suppose
The poets tell, how old Pancho fell
And Lefty's living, in cheap hotels
The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold
And 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
All the Federales say
They could've had him, any day
They only let him, go so long
Out of kindness, I suppose
A few gray Federales say
They could've had him, any day
They only let him, go so long
Out of kindness, I suppose
