C. Listen to the song again and insert the missing adjectives into the gaps in the text below:

Living on the road, my friend,

Is gonna keep you ____________ and ____________ ;

Now you wear your skin like silver / gold / iron

Your breath is as ____________ as kerosene;

You weren't your momma's only boy

But her favorite one it seems;

She began to cry when you said goodbye

And disappeared / sank / ran off into your dreams.

 

Pancho was a bandit, boys,

His horse was ____________ as polished steel;

He wore his gun outside his pants / trousers / jeans

For all the ____________ world to feel;

Pancho met his match / was killed / died tragically, you know,

On the deserts down in Mexico

And nobody heard his final / dying / ultimate words

But that's the way it goes.

And all the Federales say

They could've had him any day;

They only let him stay / stick / hang around

Out of kindness I suppose.

 

Lefty, he can't sing the blues

All night long like he used to;

The dust that Pancho bit / ate / tasted down south

Ended up in Lefty's mouth;

The day they laid poor Pancho low

Lefty left / departed / split for Ohio;

Where he got the money / bread / cash to go

There ain't nobody knows

 

And all the Federales say

They could've had him any day;

They only let him go free / escape / slip away

Out of kindness I suppose.

 

Well, the poets tell how Pancho fell

And Lefty's living in a ____________ hotel;

The desert's ____________ and Cleveland's ____________

And so the story finishes / ends / concludes we're told;

Pancho needs your prayers, it's ____________ ,

But save a few for Lefty too;

He just / simply / only did what he had to do

And now he's growing ____________ .

 

A few gray Federales say

They could've had him any day

They only let him go so long

Out of kindness I suppose.

 

A few gray Federales say

They could've had him any day

They only let him go so long

Out of kindness I suppose.
