The Greatest Country Song in the History of Country Songs: ‘Pancho and Lefty’

Yes. I buried the lead again. I am fucking famous for that. Scroll down for the song.

***

Yeah, I am still struggling to get through the Ken Burns ‘History of Country Music’ document -tarry

I am in the Seventies now.

Really fucking me up.

Because I lived it.

Shoulda died it.

Didn’t

Now I am expressing my feelings of those wonderful times.

And wallowing in self-pity

And reminiscing

Or

Re-missing

Re-missing the mark.

My life back then held such promise.

What the fuck went so horrible wrong?

When/where did I take that wrong turn?

Who the hell knows?

Who the fuck cares?

Certainly not me.

Least of all

Me

And also notice that on the bar table at the end the beers are Lone Star. — in the fucking bottle– the only proper way to drink beer: From the tit. Just like you grew up with–from Mama

And the song covered by ten thousand wanna – bee’s

Ref below of my larcenous/criminal past. And that is barely one-third of it. There are even some things I will never fess up to. Although it would make for mighty writing stories…. I suppose I could write it and call it ‘fiction.’ I mean, who the hell would know? Everyone would know, because ‘everyone’ knows I cannot write fiction worth a shit.

But I never got caught.

Because I was too fucking smart. And now I can write freely about it because in Amerika, we still have this thing.

It is called

‘The ‘Statue’ of Limitations.’

Kinda resembles that Statue of Miss Lady Liberté.

You remember: That French Bitch.
