Well I Cpacked all of my things into this Fadd9blanket
Am7/C Gsus2
To call this year to earn coyotes fill
Kiss my Dsus4wife and kids goodbye Cadd9choke back the Fadd9quiver in my breath
And Am7took my first steps into this Gsus2corridor of death Gsus2
If I’Dsus4m lucky I will make iCadd9t to aFadd9 drain
Am7/C Gsus2
With 500 of my brothers, I would share the strain
Of Dsus4standing in this boCadd9xcar Fadd9praying for rain

If we Cmake it past the border, we will sFadd9catter
Am7/C Gsus2
Vanish just like smoke in autumn wind
I will Dsus4run until my color wilCadd9l not Fadd9matter

There are Dsus4others who have made it hCadd9ere Fadd9
Am7/C Gsus2

I will do the jobs American won’t do
With their D7sus4cell phones to their heads and Cadd9$700 Fadd9 dollar shoes
Am7I will risk my life ‘cause it?Gsus2??s all I have to lGsus2ose
Let the Cdevil in the mountains Fadd9promise me a ride
Am7Found an 18 wheeler and put Gsus2all of us inside
And Dsus4just outside of victory, Fadd919 of us died
Am7None of our bodies hit the flooGsus2r
And so my Dsus4wife she still wonderCadd9s Fadd9when I’m coming home
The Am7riches that I promised her for Gsus2leaving her alone
I said that Dsus4I would send her all that ICadd9 could Fadd9save
But I Am7ended up in California Gsus2in an unknown grave
