“Pancho and Lefty” is Townes Van Zandt’s haunting masterpiece—a dusty ballad of betrayal and regret. Released in 1972, it tells the cryptic tale of a bandit and the friend who may have sold him out. Mysterious, poetic, and wide open to interpretation, the song became a country classic when Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard took it to No. 1 in 1983. It’s Townes at his best—plainspoken, tragic, and unforgettable. #country | Truck Stop Chic
