This is a title of an album by Willy Nelson and Merle Haggard .. I'm not really a country western fan but like this Tape alot .. My bud listens to it while he's drinking .. The whole album is about drinking ,, words are great . Some songs are .. I Might Have Gone Fishing ,, Reason's to Quit ,, I Have No Reason To Quit ,, only cut that dosen't do it for me is the title cut Poncho and Lefty.. sounds over produced.. Willy and Merle are talented song writers .. I quit drinking years ago (reason I'm still alive) and enjoy this alot ... good stocking stuffer ,, trust me on this one .. When I'm stuck in rte 3 traffic I'm listening to this .. :claps::claps::claps:

Poncho and Lefty is a Townes Van Zandt song Ed.......covered by those two...
If you like that you should listen to Townes....one of America's best songwriters ever.....
That whole album might be TVZ covers.....he wrote about drinking and drank and died.
rent the movie Be Here to Love Me

thanks Matt ... googled the guy ... They said he might have been one of the best Poet/Songwriters but never really made it big because of his singing style ... here's Willie and Merle
