20 Miles to Juarez Songtext

von Bob Wayne

She's a rambler
She's a gambler
She won't ever
Let ya have
She's an angel
She's the devil
She's always on the level
Don't you try to run with her
She'll just leave you in the dirt
Like she has so many men before

He's a sinner
A he's splinter
He's colder then the winter
He's a loner
He's a rebel
He's best friends with the devil
He'll walk this earth a lone
He'll never find a home
He'll find ya he'll fool ya
And he'll go

I'd been walkin' damn near all day
When he pulled off of the freeway
And I got in without question
I've cuz always known
I'd die young there was
Pistol on his lap
Next to a briefcase
Full of cash
I knew right then that I
Had net my match

She was walkin' down that highway
When I pulled up beside her
And even though I didn't know her
I could tell she was
A wild one
There was blood stains on her clothes
She said her name was Rose
She shut the door
I hit the gas

I asked her where she's goin'
Sfe said she didn't know
So I kept drivin' through the night
And no one said a word more
And then a pulled her close
Touched the blood stains on her clothes
I said Mexico
She nodded yes

We drove all through the night then
I woke up to sirens and shattered glass
All on the dash and he put that
Pistol in my hand
Said woman shoot to kill
You know they surely will
I said hit the border baby
I'll do the rest

We were shootin
We were swervin'
And uo ahead
There was a curve and we was goin
Way too fast
We let off the gas
But that copper
Broke too slow
Flew off the side
Of the road next to a road sign that said
Juarez twenty miles

We pulled into socorro
A small town across the border
And we got out laughed out loud
Celebratio was in order
So we stepped inside a bar
Hadr a toast under the stars
To long hauls and closed calls

We dank all through the night
Tellin' stories neath the moon light
And I looke at him and he looked at me
And neither of us believed in destiny
So he took that case of cash
He split it right in half
I took my share and walked away

She's a rambler
She's a gambler
She won't ever let ya have her

He's a sinner
A he's splinter
He's colder then the winter

Don't you try to run with her
She'll just leave you in the dirt

He'll find ya he'll fool ya
And he'll go
