Lyrics

Well I left my home in Tamaulipas
In Sonoyta i came across
There was but six of us when we started
Walking behind the coyote boss
The old man said let me go along with you
Yes I'm old but I'm mighty tough
I know the road, maybe I can help you
I got good shoes, I won't hold you up
First night we stopped and rested
Next morning our guide was gone
The Sinaloa boy was for retreating
The old man said, "We can't go wrong"
But up on Tenahas Altas, he stumbled then he fell
He begged and he pleaded, we had to leave him
Lyin' on Camino Diablo trail
Quick sand, I think we lost direction
Quick sand, now we're losing ground
Quick sand, nobody round to help us
Quick sand, now we're sinking down
Thought we was getting close to Yuma
I heard it's an unfriendly town
We just need a cool drink of water
Even Yuma can't turn a poor boy down
Then a Dodge Ram truck drove right down on us
Said I'm your Arizona vigilante man
I'm here to say your ain't welcome in Yuma
I'm taking you out just as fast as I can
I saw mi madre crying in her rocking chair alone
I saw "La Llorona" Flying, please take a message back home
Quick sand, I think we lost direction
Quick sand, now we're losin' ground
Quick sand, nobody want to help us
Quick sand, now we're sinking down
Quick sand, I think we lost direction
Quick sand, now we're losin' ground
Quick sand, nobody want to help us
Quick sand, now we're sinking down
