Intro: F F - Dm Dm

F F
Living on the road my friend is
C C
is gonna keep you free and clean
Bb Bb
Now you wear your skin like iron
F F C C
your breath as hard as kerosene

Bb Bb
Weren’t your mama’s only boy
F F Bb Bb
but her favorite one it seems
Dm Dm Bb Bb F F C C
She began to cry when you said good bye
Bb Bb Dm Dm
And sank into her dreams

F F
Pancho was a bandit boys
C C
his horse was fast as polished steel
Bb Bb
He wore his gun outside his pants
F F C C
for all the honest world to feel

Bb Bb
Pancho met his match you know
F F Bb Bb
on the deserts down in Mexico
Dm Dm Bb Bb F F C C
Nobody heard his dy-ing words
Bb Bb Dm Dm
Ah but that’s the way it goes

Dm Dm C C Bb Bb
All the Federales say
F F Bb Bb
they could have had him any day
Dm Dm Bb Bb F F C C
They only let him slip a-way
Bb Bb Dm Dm
out of kindness I sup-pose
