I have been with the best that the bastards could muster
From Danny the Dildo to Sidney the Snake
And I feel like a workin′ girl pausin' to wonder
Just how much screwin′ the spirit can take
I said, "Willie, old buddy, please tell me again
The reason to keep goin' on"
He said, "There's no harder words to say over a friend
When they′ve done you so righteously wrong
They stopped you from singin′ your song"
He was our hero, boys, he took the bullet
When he went down swingin' his fist from the floor
You can ask any workin′ girl south of the border
Sam Peckinpah, el raul, un hombre for sure
I said, "Willie, old buddy, please tell me again
The reason to keep goin' on"
He said, "There′s no harder words to say over a friend
When they've done you so righteously wrong
They stopped you from singin′ your song"
