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
