   Living on the road my friend
   G              C             G
   Was gonna keep you free and clean
   G           C              G
   Now you wear your skin like iron
   G              C             G
   And your breath's as sweet as sunshine
   G          Am          C       G
   You could see it in his eyes
   G               Am             C       G
   That he was born to follow
   G           Am       C       G
   And he was just a little too far gone
   G         Am       C       G
   Poncho, he was a bandit boy
   G             C             G
   His horse was fast as polished steel
   G                C              G
   He wore his gun outside his pants
   G              C             G
   For all the honest world to feel
