"Javelina" lyrics

"Javelina"

I took the long way through Laredo and Laredo took me in
I set 'cross the desert just to see if I fit in
I shook loose all the Texan and all them parasitic people
Let's 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
"Tu cama o 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 forming mounds of eucalyptus
Jokes of tones of skin and will they let me run my business
Them Sinaloa collectors caught some wind of my new presence
It's time for me to fly 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 to stop
The city 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

Javelina, knockin at my door
Javelina, comin back for more
