Em G Em
Em G Em Well I must have walked for fourteen days Em G Em All that I could carry and I made my way Em G D To the new holy land not a grand parade Em G Em Snuck across the border to the U.S.A. Em G Em Didn't take too long for me to find some work Em G Em Just stood there waitin round in the Texas dirt Em G D And now I lay concrete the way I did back home Em G Em From 6 am until the light is gone Em G Em Then it's back to the hotel drink a case of beer Em G Em One for every person that's livin' here Em G D Four dollars an hour but nobody moans Em G Em Cause it's three fifty more than we can get back home Em G Em Then I send the money back down to my sweet wife Em G Em So she can tell my children 'bout a better life Em G D Papa's tryin hard just to make it fine Em G Em Fifty miles north of that illegal line
[SOLO]
Em G Em Late one night they came in through the door Em G Em With guns and lights screamin' get on the floor Em G D They cuffed us up tight and hauled us all away Em G Em Couldn't hardly understand a single word they'd say Em G Em Early next mornin' judge drug us in Em G Em He stared us all down just like guilty men Em G D He said any of you boys got a thing to say? Em G Em I asked him what would he do if he was in my place Em G Em He said there's rules boy and this just aint the way Em G Em And I said sometimes a starvin' family just can't wait Em G D But he slammed down his gavel now I'm doin time Em G Em Fifty miles north of that illegal line Em G Em Fifty miles north of that illegal line-eeeeee
