Bruce Springsteen - Sinaloa Cowboys Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Miguel came from a small town in northern mexico
  • He came north with his brother luis to california three years ago
  • They crossed at the river levee when luis was just 16
  • And found work together in the fields of the san joaquin
  • They left their friends and family
  • Their father said my sons one thing you will learn
  • For everything the north gives it exacts a price in return.
  • They worked side by side in the orchards
  • From morning till the day was thru
  • Doing the work the hueros wouldnt
  • Word was out some men in from sinaloa were looking for some hands
  • Well deep in fresno county there was a deserted chicken ranch
  • There was a small tin shack on the edge of a ravine
  • Miguel and luis stood cooking methamphetamine
  • You could spend a year in the orchards
  • Or make half as much in one ten-hour shift
  • Working for the men from sinaloa
  • But if you slipped the hydriodic acid
  • Could burn right thru your skin
  • Theyd leave you spittin up blood in the desert
  • If you breathed those fumes in
  • It was early one winter evening as miguel stood watch outside
  • When the shack exploded lighting up the valley night
  • Miguel carried luis body over his shoulder down a swale
  • To the creekside and there in the tall grass luis rosales died
  • Miguel lifted luis body into his truck and then he drove
  • To where the morning sunlight fell on a eucalyptus grove
  • There in the dirt he dug up 10000 dollars all that theyd saved
  • Kissed his brothers lips and placed him in his grave
