Buddy Brown
Pedro Comes Back
[Verse 1]
I found him outside on a long dusty highway, just south of old San Antone
His left foot was limpin', his clothes were all ragged, was down to a fifth of Patron
I rolled up right behind him in my beat-up Chevy and 'bout scared ol' Pedro to death
When he saw it was me, he said, "Thank the Lord, " dropped his bag and ol' boy hugged my neck

[Chorus]
'Cause my charter plane dropped him just over the border, my pilot told him to go north
He'd been walking two days with a bag on his shoulder, still holding that old .44
All the locals in Texas, they call him a hero 'cause he got us out of a trap
At a nearby saloon, we all gather up and celebrate the day that Pedro came back

[Verse 2]
We set him up as a huntin' guide outside Laredo, and I let him work on my ranch
Each day we would take out a couple of hunters, those whitetail would n'er stand a chance
Many years would go by and we almost forgot they still had a price on our heads
But on this side of the border, there's plenty protection and they ain't found ol' Pedro yet

[Chorus]
'Cause my charter plane dropped him just over the border
My pilot told him to go north
He'd been walking two days with a bag on his shoulder
Still holding that old .44
All the locals in Texas, they call him a hero
Cause he got us out of a trap
At a nearby saloon, we all gather up and celebrate
The day that Pedro came back
[Outro]
I found him outside on a long dusty highway
Just south of old San Antone
