@ehBeth,
like his writing, but love it when others cover hi work.
The song of Pancho and LEfty, he wrote an it hacked around for like 20 years before some hit with Willie, HAggard, Cash and the Roadmen.
Heres a version of Willie and Dylan doing the song that < according to van Zandt, had no real point of origin.
It was NOT about Villa and his bud. The closest van Zant ever came to explaining it was a tale about 2 cops of the Burton County (Texas) police department , who left van Zandt go after a speeding arrest (It turned out the two cops qere called Pancho and Lefty)
whatever, its still a neat song
