Sometimes I start talking to myself   In the midst of an honest day’s work   I put my chin on my arm and say   Why are you such a fool   What would Pecos do how would he get out of this   Tie up everybody and ask questions later   Drink up all the water   What was lake now is crater   The brothers will always say   He’s just like king David he kills by the thousands   He’ll fool someone to bury themselves in a mountain   The brothers cry all night   Whoa man   And the criminals fool themselves in a fight   Because they are going to lose   They don’t understand what’s about to happen   That someone’s at the point of death   What would Pecos do how would he get out of this   And sometimes I think to myself   I’m not going to do it nobody ever could   Sometimes I look to the moon   And see my woman up there she’s running out of air   Sometimes I think to myself   If Pecos Bill did it I can   The brothers cry all night   Whoa man
