Well I must have walked for fourteen days All that I could carry and I made my way To the new holy land not a grand parade Snuck across the border to the U.S.A. Didn't take too long for me to find some work Just stood there waitin round in the Texas dirt And now I lay concrete the way I did back home From 6 am until the light is gone Then it's back to the hotel drink a case of beer One for every person that's livin' here Four dollars an hour but nobody moans Cause it's three fifty more than we can get back home Then I send the money back down to my sweet wife So she can tell my children 'bout a better life Papa's tryin hard just to make it fine Fifty miles north of that illegal line Late one night they came in through the door With guns and lights screamin' get on the floor They cuffed us up tight and hauled us all away Couldn't hardly understand a single word they'd say Early next mornin' judge drug us in Letras de cancionesHe stared us all down just like guilty men He said any of you boys got a thing to say? I asked him what would he do if he was in my place He said there's rules boy and this just ain't the way And I said sometimes a starvin' family just can't wait But he slammed down his gavel now I'm doin time Fifty miles north of that illegal line Fifty miles north of that illegal line-eeeeee From Letras Mania
