Additional quotes by Townes Van Zandt

The promise in her smile shames the mountains tall
She can bring the sun to shining. She can tell the rain to fall.
It's been a long time, Mama, since I heard you call my name,
Ah, been a long time since I heard you call my name
I got to see my Colorado girl again
Be there tomorrow, Mama, don't you cry

Pancho was a bandit boys
His horse was fast as polished steel
Wore his gun outside his pants
For all the honest world to feel
Pancho met his match you know
On the deserts down in Mexico
Nobody heard his dying words
That's the way it goes
All the Federales say
They could have had him any day
They only let him hang around Out of kindness I suppose
