George Jones - Pancho And Lefty songtekst
Je score:
Livin' on the road, my friend, is gonna keep you free and clean Now you wear your skin like iron and your breath's as hard as kerosene Weren't your mama'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 dyin' words, ah but that's the way it goes All the Federals say, "They could've had him any day" We 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 Federals say, "They could've had him any day" We only let him slip away, out of kindness, I suppose The poets tell how Pancho fell, and Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel 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 Federals say, "They could've had him any day" We only let him go so long, out of kindness, I suppose A few gray Federals say, "Could've had him any day" We only let him go so long, out of kindness, I suppose
