Cause the powers that be aren't concerned with "rebels" since they know given time they'll just take the payout and become yuppies who aren't a threat to anyone. And that's why only one character is introduced at the beginning of the song. God it's so simple.

Yeah it should have been more obvious.

I never thought about it.

I googled “are pancho and lefty...” and the first auto fill was “the same person”

There’s a couple interesting discussions about it. I think maybe it’s correct but Townes didn’t realize it when he wrote it. I actually think that’s a really common phenomenon.

Well it's not in the text of the song, but it's also not in the text of the song that they're two people. It's not even in the text of the song that ever even met or had any explicit dealings with one another. But thematically theyre definitely linked with one being a symbol for brash youthfulness with the other being a symbol becoming broken down by age and experience, and if you consider them the same person then those themes make the most sense to me.

I think it’s a fantastic observation
