The bit at the end about the Dallas cop is hilarious! Thanks!

Funny stuff . . . he was a great storyteller.

I'll bet Townes couldn't even remember where that song actually came from, so he just made up a bunch of stories about it. :emmersed:

I agree that there are multiple stories concerning what Pancho & Lefty is all about. Plus, what geoguy said, +1 on that.

I have always enjoyed both 'listening and singing' the song more when viewing it as a song about one person, not two.
