Like Roy Orbison but original to love it !

Very nice track, Ed.  Tugs at the heart, man.

### **Poncho & Lefty** - The Existential Outlaw Tango

Dive into the $eattle underworld with "Poncho & Lefty," a sidewalk busker’s narrative dripping with raw, unfiltered Americana. JTSunrise channels the spectral essence of Townes Van Zandt, a man ensnared in the mortality of his own existence. This track is a descent into the realm of psychic novelty where destiny and despair coalesce.

### Townes Van Zandt: The Shadow Poet

In the fragmented dreamscape of America, Townes Van Zandt emerges as a spectral figure, a troubadour wandering the wastelands of his own mind. Born into privilege, but shackled by the spectral weight of his demons, Van Zandt’s life is a mosaic of brilliance and catastrophe. His music, a cathartic exorcism of his soul, is a testament to the eternal struggle between light and shadow.

"Poncho & Lefty" is the epitome of this dichotomy. First recorded in 1972, the song weaves a tale of two outlaws, bound by fate and shattered by betrayal. The narrative, steeped in myth and reality, is a melancholic reflection of Van Zandt’s own journey through the desolate corridors of existence. Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard later immortalized the track, but its dark heart remains rooted in Van Zandt’s tortured genius.

### The Subterranean Odyssey

With JTSunrise at the helm, "Poncho & Lefty" becomes an auditory hallucination, a journey through the liminal spaces where morality dissolves into the guitar ether. Picture Poncho, the charismatic ghost, and Lefty, the betrayer, navigating a labyrinth of dust and shadows. Their story, a kaleidoscope of existential angst, mirrors the fractured reality of our own lives.

Let the spectral echoes of "Poncho & Lefty" transport you to a dimension where the lines between hero and villain blur into oblivion. 🌅🎸

[Verse 1]

C
Living on the road my friend
G
Was gonna keep you free and clean
F
Now you wear your skin like iron
     C                   G
Your breath's as hard as kerosene
F
You weren't your mama's only boy
        C               F
But her favorite one it seems
Am                        F        G
She began to cry when you said goodbye
    F              Am
And sank into your dreams


[Verse 2]
C
Pancho was a bandit boys
G
His horse was fast as polished steel
F
Wore his gun outside his pants
   C                      G
For all the honest world to feel
F
Pancho met his match you know
       C               F
On the deserts down in Mexico
Am                        F        G
Nobody heard his dying words
    F              Am
That's the way it goes


[Chorus]

F
All the federales say
C                       F
They could have had him any day
Am                F     G
They only let him hang around
       F             Am
Out of kindness I suppose


[Verse 3]
C
Lefty he can't sing the blues
G
All night long like he used to
F
The dust that Pancho bit down south
 C            G
Ended up in Lefty's mouth
F
The day they laid poor Pancho low
C                F
Lefty split for Ohio
Am                F        G
Where he got the bread to go
      F               Am
There ain't nobody knows


[Chorus]

F
All the federales say
C                       F
They could have had him any day
Am                F     G
They only let him slip away
       F             Am
Out of kindness I suppose


[Verse 4]
C
The poets tell how Pancho fell
G
Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel
  F
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
   C           G
So the story ends we're told
F
Pancho needs your prayers it's true,
        C                F
But save a few for Lefty too
Am                   F      G
He just did what he had to do
   F              Am
Now he's growing old


[Chorus]

F
A few old gray federales say
C                       F
They could have had him any day
Am                F     G
They only let him go so long
       F             Am
Out of kindness I suppose
