"Juan Mendoza" lyrics
"Juan Mendoza"
Jet-setters running around
Private planes, eating caviar
Meanwhile back in San Antone
Juan Mendoza sweats payments on his car
Washington is in the news
Junior and Donny got the blues
Who cares?
California, things are groovin'
Berkeley, things are movin'
A world is a world and I don't care what you say
Well, a world is a world, is a world, is a world, is a world, is a world
And I don't care what you say
Well, a world is a world, is a world, is a world, is a world, is a world
It's a sun shiny day
Washington is in the news
Junior and Donny got the blues
Who cares?
Down in Austin, things are groovin'
St. Louis, things are movin'
A world is a world and I don't care what you say
Juan Mendoza packed his car
Pretty soon, he's western bound
Wasn't 10 miles out of town
A Texas ranger flagged him down
You're brown and near the border
You better have your papers
If not, oh man, you're gone
You wanna go to California
Try to find a groove there
A world is a world and I don't care what you say
Well, a world is a world, is a world, is a world, is a world, is a world
And I don't care what you say
Well, a world is a world, is a world, is a world, is a world, is a world
It's a sun shiny day
Washington is in the news
Junior and Donny got the blues
Who cares?
Down in Austin, things are groovin'
St. Louis, people movin'
A world is a world and I don't care what you say

The Flying Burrito Brothers - "Wild Horses" Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted, I bought them for you

James McMurtry - "Childish Things" Aunt Clara kept her Bible
Right next to the phone in case she needed a quote
While she talked to someone
In my memory she smiles
While the blessing is said
And visions of freeze tag dance in my head...
The Raconteurs - "Old Enough" You look pretty in your fancy dress
But I detect unhappiness
You never speak so I have to guess
You're not free.
There, maybe when you're old enough
You'll realize you're not so tough
And...
Ryan Adams - "Answering Bell" Did I slip? Know I stumbled
Did I trip? 'Cause I know I fell
All's I know is I'll wake up here in my clothes tomorrow
But oh, girl I wish I knew you well
Oh, girl I wish I knew you well
But I'm just...
Los Lobos - "Will The Wolf Survive?" Through the chill of winter
Running across the frozen lake
Hunters are out on his trail
All odds are against him
With a family to provide for
The one thing he must keep alive
Will the wolf survive?...
