lyrics
Broken Spanish and a broken nose
Moved when the bottom fell out
The kids stare from their bikes at the trailer park
At the gringo in the bordertown
I’ve been courting death and cooking meth
I sell it at a basement price
Skin and bones and open sores
Kid, take my advice
There’s a banjo moon with busted strings
Let it shine its dirty light on me
And wash me clean
I was wired and alert with donations for the church
Piled high in the van
Gutted a VHS tape of “The Great Escape”
Put in half an ounce of contraband
Traffic stop and a red-faced cop
Cold sweat on my brow
Between my nerves and the crank in “The Great Escape”
I was sure I’d be going down
I kept flapping my jaw at Johnny Law
I couldn’t seem to shut my mouth
He said to step outside, he wants to check inside
Sweating bullets in a bordertown
Beneath a banjo moon with busted strings
Let it shine its dirty light on me
And wash me clean
They searched low and high but they came up dry
Couldn’t peg me for a thing
They had to send me hauling ass back to Eagle Pass
Grinning all along the way
I’m getting old but I’m getting by
I can make it another round
I got lucky today, tomorrow who can say
When you’re living in a bordertown
Beneath a banjo moon with busted strings
Let it shine its dirty light on me
And wash me clean
