[C]Living on the road my friend,[G] is gonna keep you free and clean


[F]Now you wear your skin like iron,


Your [C]breath as hard as [G]kerosene.


[F]You weren't your mama's only boy, but her [C]favorite one it [F]seems


[C]She began to cry when you [F]said [C]goodb[G]ye,


And [F]sank into your [Am]dreams.[Am]


Pancho was a bandit boys[G], his horse was fast as polished steel


[F]He wore his gun outside his pants


For [C]all the honest world to [G]feel.


[F]Pancho met his match you know on the [C]deserts down in [F]Mexico


[C]Nobody heard his [F]dyi[C]ng [G]words, ah but [F]that's the way it [Am]goes.[Am]


All the Federales say[C] they could have had him [F]any day


[C]They only let him [F]slip [C]awa[G]y out of [F]kindness, I sup[Am]pose.


[Am]   [G]  [C]  [C]Lefty, he can't sing the blues [G]all night long like he used to.


[F]The dust that Pancho bit down south [C]ended up in [G]Lefty's mouth


[F]The day they laid poor Pancho low, [C]Lefty split for [F]Ohio


[C]Where he got the [F]bread [C]to g[G]o, there [F]ain't nobody [Am]knows


[Am]   [G]  [F]  [F]All the Federales say[C] they could have had him [F]any day


[C]They only let him [F]slip [C]awa[G]y out of [F]kindness, I sup[Am]pose.[Am]


Poets tell how Pancho fell, and Lef[G]ty's living in a cheap hotel


[F]The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold,


[C]And so the story [G]ends we're told


[F]Pancho needs your prayers it's true, but [C]save a few for [F]Lefty too


[C]He only did what he [F]had [C]to [G]do, and [F]now he's growing [Am]old


[Am]   [G]  [F]  [F]All the Federales say [C]they could have had him [F]any day


[C]They only let him [F]slip [C]awa[G]y out of [F]kindness, I sup[Am]pose.


[Am]   [G]  [F]  [F]A few gray Federales say [C]they could have had him [F]any day


[C]They only let him g[F]o s[C]o l[G]ong, out of of [F]kindness, I s[Am]uppose.
