Sands of Tampico
I've been running through every red light
All night just to get the thrill
Got a black coffee and a bag of black beauties
In a cherry red bonneville
Radio blasting on a late night DJ ain't playing nothing slow
And I ain't stopping till I see that sign say Welcome to Mexico
I've been known to skirt the line a time or two
Lived a life just scraping by those days are through
Mark my words I'll be high as birds
Flying loose and free
Til the sands of Tampico bury me
Got a second wind in Refugio
Three cops were on my trail
I shook them off like a dog in the water like a bat flying out of hell
Well as far as I can tell there ain't a rose can smell as sweet
As the the rubber I left from two screaming bald tires
On a hot south Texas street
They'll be looking for me on every bayou street
But baby I've been long gone
I might look like skin and bones but won't be that way for long
I got a trunk full of borrowed money and I'm following the sun
Robbed 6 banks in 72 hours and didn't even use my gun
I've been known to skirt the line a time or two
Lived a life just scraping by those days are through
Now mark my words I'll be high as birds
Flying loose and free
Til the sands of Tampico bury me
It's a perfect day on Dìa de Los Meurtos
Gaviotas diving in the sea
I hear those federales with their hound dogs
And I know they're coming after me
White caps rolling waves on old Tampico
Sirens sounding like the carnival
Money floats like confetti down in the water
Feels good just to win one after all
I've been known to skirt the line a time or two
Lived a life just scraping by those days are through
Now mark my words I'll be high as birds
Flying loose and free
Til the sands of Tampico bury me
Til the sands of Tampico bury me
Til the sands of Tampico bury
Me
All night just to get the thrill
Got a black coffee and a bag of black beauties
In a cherry red bonneville
Radio blasting on a late night DJ ain't playing nothing slow
And I ain't stopping till I see that sign say Welcome to Mexico
I've been known to skirt the line a time or two
Lived a life just scraping by those days are through
Mark my words I'll be high as birds
Flying loose and free
Til the sands of Tampico bury me
Got a second wind in Refugio
Three cops were on my trail
I shook them off like a dog in the water like a bat flying out of hell
Well as far as I can tell there ain't a rose can smell as sweet
As the the rubber I left from two screaming bald tires
On a hot south Texas street
They'll be looking for me on every bayou street
But baby I've been long gone
I might look like skin and bones but won't be that way for long
I got a trunk full of borrowed money and I'm following the sun
Robbed 6 banks in 72 hours and didn't even use my gun
I've been known to skirt the line a time or two
Lived a life just scraping by those days are through
Now mark my words I'll be high as birds
Flying loose and free
Til the sands of Tampico bury me
It's a perfect day on Dìa de Los Meurtos
Gaviotas diving in the sea
I hear those federales with their hound dogs
And I know they're coming after me
White caps rolling waves on old Tampico
Sirens sounding like the carnival
Money floats like confetti down in the water
Feels good just to win one after all
I've been known to skirt the line a time or two
Lived a life just scraping by those days are through
Now mark my words I'll be high as birds
Flying loose and free
Til the sands of Tampico bury me
Til the sands of Tampico bury me
Til the sands of Tampico bury
Me
