Friday Night is Music Night: Bandits, Cowboys, Fugitives.

[Richard A Thackeray]

A forgotten 90s classic. Full of sarcasm about the role of women in the home.

Got to be Pancho and Lefty. Arguably the greatest song ever written:

Steve Earle had a tribute CD, simply named 'Townes'

Wife & I saw him, at Leeds Grand Theatre on the promo-tour

Apparently Samuel Pepys collected a broadsheet version of this song about 1685 called The Bloody Miller.

Cheesy as hell, but -

And totally at odds with the film, yours is the 45" single
This is the film version
The sound of that diesel, as he changes down on the crest
Sadly though, the lighting rig can be seen as Ali McGraw starts to pass

Oh!, & my wife had a 'bit of a thing' for Kristofferson, as he looked here

My name is Billy Austin
I'm Twenty-Nine years old
I was born in Oklahoma
Quarter Cherokee I'm told

Don't remember Oklahoma
Been so long since I left home
Seems like I've always been in prison
Like I've always been alone

Didn't mean to hurt nobody
Never thought I'd cross that line
I held up a filling station
Like I'd done a hundred times

The kid done like I told him
He lay face down on the floor
Guess I'll never know what made me
Turn and walk back through that door

The shot rang out like thunder
My ears rang like a bell
No one came runnin'
So I called the cops myself

Took their time to get there
And I guess I could'a run
I knew I should be feeling something
But I never shed tear one

I didn't even make the papers
'Cause I only killed one man
But my trial was over quickly
And then the long hard wait began

Court appointed lawyer
Couldn't look me in the eye
He just stood up and closed his briefcase
When they sentenced me to die

Now my waitin's over
As the final hour drags by
I ain't about to tell you
That I don't deserve to die

But there's twenty-seven men here
Mostly black, brown and poor
Most of em are guilty
Who are you to say for sure?

So when the preacher comes to get me
And they shave off all my hair
Could you take that long walk with me
Knowing hell is waitin' there

Could you pull that switch yourself sir
With a sure and steady hand
Could you still tell youself
That you're better than I am

My name is Billy Austin
I'm twenty-nine years old
I was born in Oklahoma
Quarter Cherokee I'm told
