Javelina

One, two-

I took the long way through Laredo and Laredo took me in

I set out 'cross the desert just to see if I fit in

I shook loose of the ticks and all them parasitic people

We'll see how my complexion holds up when I cross the river

It took a day or two to translate that I'm in desperate need for shelter

"Te cambio mi cuchillo" if I can get out of this weather

Rosa laughed at my appearance, turned her nose up in disgust

"Hueles como marrano" and my name forever stuck

Javelina, knockin' at my door

Javelina, comin' back for more

I made a hand at shooting goats and farming miles of eucalyptus

Jokes of tones of skin or they'd let me run my business

Them Sinaloa collectors caught some wind of my new presence

It's time for me to fly the coop and get out of this desert

Javelina, knockin' at my door

Javelina, comin' back for more

Shine down the lights of Ojinaga and the threat of getting caught

My shoes have all but melted but I dare not rest or stop

The city all looks like paradise and Texas looks like home

Them Sinaloa collectors will never know I'm gone

Javelina, knockin' at my door

Javelina, comin' back for more

Javelina, knockin' at my door

Javelina, comin' back for more
