Cover art for Pancho & Lefty lyrics by Townes Van Zandt

Great cowboy song. It can summarize every Western movie ever made. Life isn't the greatest thing we have to lose.

Best lines of this song: "The dust that Pancho bit down south Ended up in Lefty's mouth" and "The poets tell how Pancho fell Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel"

Life isn't the greatest thing we can give up.
