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 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 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.
