Bruce Springsteen - Balboa Park Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • He lay his blanket underneath the freeway
  • As the evening sky grew dark
  • Took a sniff of toncho from his cocaine
  • And headed thru balboa park
  • Where the men in their mercedes
  • Come nightly to employ
  • In the cool san diego evening
  • The services of the border boys
  • He grew up near the zona norte
  • With the hustlers and smugglers he hung out with
  • He swallowed their balloons of cocaine
  • Brought them across to the 12th streetstrip
  • Sleepin in a shelter
  • If the night got to cold
  • Runnin from the migra
  • Of the border patrol
  • Past the salvage yard cross the train tracks
  • And in thru the storm drain
  • They stretched their blankets out neath the freeway
  • And each one took a name
  • There was x-man and cochise
  • Little spider his sneakers covered in river mud
  • They come north to california
  • End up with the poison in their blood
  • He did what he had to for the money
  • Sometimes he sent home what he could spare
  • The rest went to high-top sneakers and toncho
  • And jeans like the gavachos wear
  • One night the border patrol swept 12th street
  • A big car came fast down the boulevard
  • Spider stood caught in its headlights
  • Got hit and went down hard
  • As the car sped away=20
  • Spider held his stomachlimped to his blanket neath the freeway
  • Lay there tasting his own blood on his tongue
  • Closed his eyes and listened to he cars
  • Rushin by so fast
