Living on the road
my friend

is gonna keep you
free and clean
Now you wear
your skin like iron

and your hreath's
as hard as kerosene
You weren't your
mama's only boy

but her favourite one
it seems
She began to cry

when you said
goodbye
And sank into

your dreams
Poncho 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
Poncho met his
match you know

on the deserts
down in Mexico
But that's the

way it goes
And all the Federales say

could have had him
any day
Only let him

hang around
Out of kindness

lsuppose
Well Lefiy he can't
sing the blues

all night long
like he used to
The dust that Poncho
hit down south

ended up in
Lefty's mouth
The day they laid

poor Ponchu low
Lefty split for Ohio
Where he got

the bread to go
Well nobody knows
Well all the
Federales say

they could have
had him any day
Out of kindness

lsuppose
Instrumental
16 seconds
So the poets tell
how Poncho fell

Lefty's living in
a cheap hotel
The desert's quiet
and Cleveland's cold

so the stories
were told
Poncho needs your
prayers it's true

save a few
for Lefty too
He just did

what he had to do
And now he's

growing old
And a few grey

Federales say
Only let him

go SO wrong
Out of kindness

lsuppose
And a few grey

Federales say
Could have had him
any day

we only let him
go so wrong
Out of kindness

lsuppose
