Old man sitting staring at the sea
Winter sun makes a shadow on a fallen tree
Breathing his last air
Going the way of the Grizzly Bear
Young man traveling from town to town
Wheels on the road make a singing sound
For no one
Then the young man moves to Mexico
Starts waiting for the monthly checks to show
Good old reposado
Everything is so slow
CHORUS
Down the old untolled libre road
Half way time to pay it's getting cold
Prescription d** in the Juarez rain
Trying to forget the family name
Substitute the shame
Lost fifty dollars on a Hi-Li game
Ninety days til the river flows
Pawn the silver and the stereo
For one last go
Late October when the lawyer calls
Meet the banker at the City Hall
Deed is done
Never have to answer to anyone
CHORUS
Money comes in ten grand a month
Now he orders up a taste of the expensive stuff
Watching Mexican TV
In the back of a tricked out SUV
Got a little honey and she loves the clothes
Credit card crunching in the Zona Rose
Hot and cold
Teeth a grinding on the streets of gold
CHORUS
