C G Living on the road my friend, is gonna keep you free and clean F Now you wear your skin like iron, C G Your breath as hard as kerosene. F C F You weren't your mama's only boy, but her favorite one it seems C F C G She began to cry when you said goodbye, F Am Am G C And sank into your dreams. C G Pancho was a bandit boys, his horse was fast as polished steel F He wore his gun outside his pants C G For all the honest world to feel. F C F Pancho met his match you know on the deserts down in Mexico C F C G F Am Am G F Nobody heard his dying words, ah but that's the way it goes.
