Thom Chacon - Juarez, Mexico lyrics

rate me

I can see across the border

To the el paso side

I can hear the music blarin’

People laughing in the night

Where I’m standing there is a darkness

And the red river flos

I’m stuck down here in juarez, mexico

Tonight I lay near the water

Sleep with one eye closed

My finger on the trigger

My other arm around rose

I got plans for us to leave here

Think about it everyday

On a moonless night me and rosie’ll slip away

[Chorus]

I ain’t gonna die in these streets for nothing

I ain’t gonna starve another day

Made up my mind, I’m leaving

Doesn’t namtter where we go

As long as we get out of juarez, mexico

By the time we cross the river

We will be texas bound

Stay the hell out Arizona

I heard the law could cut you down

If I’m working on this living, don’t care what people say

We’ll do a better job work hours for felipe

[Chorus]

I ain’t gonna die in these streets for nothing

I ain’t gonna starve another day

Made up my mind, I’m leaving

Doesn’t namtter where we go

As long as we get out of juarez, mexico

Rosie burns the bacon and chills

On a hot cedar fire

And off in the distance

Anotehr funeral pyre

These days I dream of america

And hope some day I’ll go

But tonight I’ll pray, for juarez, mexico.
