there was that time in west virginia
when the cops showed up when the shop blowed up
where we didn't know what was gonna happen
they messed the whole place us and tried to kill my dad
took all the money i had and what was really bad
was i couldnt do nothing to stop them
i had to move to mexico to get away
you reap the seeds you sow or so they say
i spent most my nights hanging out at a place called the rainbow bar
drinking cervezas all night long singing mexican love songs
getting all the words all wrong and not giving a damn
hoping that my luck might change feeling crazy acting strange
never worrying about the danger i was in
well ive had a might bad run of luck since you left town
sometimes you hit the braked but you cant slow down
i know what i want on my damn tombstone
when they put me in the groun
tell them to write it big and tall or not at all
just put im good now
well as the story goes things only got worse
fell in love with a nurse she smuggled drugs in her purse
she worked for doctor gonzales
it turns out the doctor was a mighty mean man
who couldnt understand how things could get out oh hand
but then he had to find out though
her tried to stop her one night well she pulled out a knife
there was a struggle and then her fell there in the end
as she ran home he lay on the floor dying
wondering about the things he'd done
thinking about his life and the fun he'd had
choices that he made and roads he had taken
and he thought about his kids and all the crazy things he did
and he wondered if anything at all really matters
when your life is almost over and there is no hope to be found
when your dying and blood is spilling out all over the ground
and the last words he said although he hardly made a sound
and he spoke each word in spanish cause he couldnt speak no english
he said i'm good now
