"Vaquero" lyrics

"Vaquero"

I don't take the paper, I don't watch TV
I was out on the road when the word got to me
Well goddamn the text, couldn't I just have gone blind
And heard your voice in my ear like I did in my mind

Mira vaquero
Se pone el sol
Buen caballero viajando con Dios
Mira vaquero
No miramos atras
Nos vamos al campo
Una vez mas, una vez mas

Your chaps are still dusty from late summer's drouth
When the cedar turn rusty it's time to go south
When your time is upon you, you don't always know
"Brinca la vida," Abuela nos dijo
"Brinca la vida," we learned long ago

Mira vaquero
Se pone el sol
Buen caballero viajando con Dios
Mira vaquero
No miramos atras
Nos vamos al campo
Una vez mas, una vez mas

So pour out the coffee and piss on the fire
I hear hounds in the distance, it's down to the wire
Make for the cow camp, we might have a chance
Vamonos por el campo en el campo we'll dance
Vamonos por el campo en el campo we'll dance

Mira vaquero
Se pone el sol
Buen caballero viajando con Dios
Mira vaquero
No miramos atras
Nos vamos al campo
Una vez mas, una vez mas
