<pre><font size='+2'>PANCHO LEFTY lyrics COUNTING CROWS</font><br>(Original by Townes Van Zandt) <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Livin` on the road, my friend<br />
<br />
Was gonna keep you free and clean <br />
<br />
But now you wear your skin like iron <br />
<br />
And your breath as hard as kerosene <br />
<br />
You weren`t your mama`s only boy<br />
<br />
But her favorite one, it seems <br />
<br />
She began to cry when you said goodbye <br />
<br />
And sank into your dreams <br />
<br />
Pancho was a bandit, boys <br />
<br />
His horse as fast as polished steel <br />
<br />
He wore his gun outside his pants <br />
<br />
For all the honest world to feel <br />
<br />
Pancho met his match, you know <br />
<br />
On the deserts down in Mexico <br />
<br />
No one heard his dyin` words <br />
<br />
Ah, but that`s the way it goes <br />
<br />
All the federales say <br />
<br />
They could have had him any day <br />
<br />
They only let him slip away <br />
<br />
Out of kindness, I suppose <br />
<br />
Lefty he can`t sing the blues <br />
<br />
All night long like he used to <br />
<br />
The dust that Pancho bit down south <br />
<br />
Ended up in Lefty`s mouth <br />
<br />
The day they laid poor Pancho low <br />
<br />
Lefty split for Ohio <br />
<br />
Where he got the bread to go <br />
<br />
There ain`t nobody `knows <br />
<br />
All the federales say <br />
<br />
They could have had him any day <br />
<br />
We only let him slip away <br />
<br />
Out of kindness, I suppose <br />
<br />
The poets tell how Pancho fell <br />
<br />
And Lefty`s livin` in a cheap hotel <br />
<br />
The desert`s quiet and Cleveland`s cold<br />
<br />
And so the story ends, we`re told <br />
<br />
Pancho needs your prayers, it`s true <br />
<br />
But save a few for Lefty, too <br />
<br />
He only did what he had to do <br />
<br />
And now he`s growin` old <br />
<br />
All the federales say <br />
<br />
We could have had him any day <br />
<br />
They only let him go so long <br />
<br />
Out of kindness, I suppose <br />
<br />
A few old gray federales still say<br />
<br />
We could have had him any day <br />
<br />
We only let him go so long <br />
<br />
Out of kindness, I suppose<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/pancho_lefty_lyrics-counting_crows.html" target='_blank'>PANCHO LEFTY lyrics COUNTING CROWS</a></pre>

(Original by Townes Van Zandt)

Livin` on the road, my friend

Was gonna keep you free and clean

But now you wear your skin like iron

And your breath as hard as kerosene

You 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, boys

His horse as 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

No one heard his dyin` words

Ah, but that`s the way it goes

All the federales say

They could have 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 have 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 and 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 growin` old

All the federales say

We could have had him any day

They only let him go so long

Out of kindness, I suppose

A few old gray federales still say

We could have had him any day

We only let him go so long

Out of kindness, I suppose
