Στίχοι

In the still of the desert in the light of the moon

Armando walks all alone

And the river ahead holds promise and dread

And he's nine hundred miles from his home

He pays the coyotes, dodges La Migra

Walks for four hungry days

When he finally hits Austin the boom town is busting

But he takes what the contractor pays

When love for family is stronger than fear

When the desperation sets in

A man will cross any line that is drawn

And who's to say it's a sin

And he crossed himself at the borderline

He wired the dollars to Elena back home

As he roamed with ten desperate men

When the builders had enough the iron is cuffed

And it's back to the border again

A tearful reunion with family and friends

But soon the reality sets in

There's no work to be found in the dry desert ground

He must head for Estados again

From Guadalajara come a man with no name

He said you can have all that you need

There's no contract to sign but the terms are your life

If you take my money and seed

When love for family is stronger than fear

When the desperation sets in

A man will cross any line that is drawn

And who's to say it's a sin

And he crossed himself at the borderline

Payments were made, the seed it was sown

Armando watched the crop grow

Even his brother-in law in the army

Was in on the plan from the go

Seven months gone and the crops gathered in

But the brother has a plan of his own

He orders a raid, the army invades

And he takes what the village has grown

In from the west came the man with no name

He said someone must pay with their life

We know your brothers, your father, your mother

Your children, your sister, your wife

Now we cannot touch your sister's young husband

Tucuyao is a military man

But you can decide who lives and who dies

And he placed the gun in his hand

When love for family is stronger than fear

When the desperation sets in

A man will cross any line that is drawn

And who's to say it's a sin

And he crossed himself at the borderline

In the still of the desert in the light of the moon

Armando walks all alone

And the river ahead holds promise and dread

And he's nine hundred miles from his home
