Yeah!
Well I woke up in the bed of a rusted out truck
With the TJ sunrise creepin' up
And the steam of the shops and sewers overhead
We all gathered just by the aqueduct
With the downtown beats pumpin' through our blood
And the anticipation of a good time up ahead
And I looked down on all the makeshift homes and beds
To the man in the Tijuana river
With his arms raised up and reachin for the sun
While the hustlers, drugs and thieves run Revolucion
I just said a prayer as the city moved along
Yeah!
Just beyond the thin line
The Federales look the other way
Cause what you got is what you got
And where you stay is where you stay
From the tin huts off the callé
To Giant Jesus on the 10
My heart still fills with love
When I catch the locals grin
Even the stray dogs look like they all understand
Like the man in the Tijuana river
With his arms raised up and reachin for the sun
While the hustlers, drugs and thieves run Revolucion
I just said a prayer as the city moved along
Under the cover of night
You hear the animals play
Up near the borderline
They dig the General's grave
Under the cover of night
You hear the animals play
Up near the borderline
They dig the General's grave
Until the sirens whale
Until the sirens whale
Until the sirens whale
Until the sirens whale
Until the sirens whale
Until the sirens whale
Until the sirens whale
Until the sirens whale
I can feel the struggle and all the love
And the longing in the faces
Everyone doin their best to keep up
While the black hand keeps erasing
But the dirty air feels electric tonight
As the neon starts to buzz
And the city's alive as we stumble and smile
Wipe that lipstick off your cheek, son
And even the stars above exhaled a little love
For the man in the Tijuana river
With his arms raised up and reachin for the sun
While the hustlers, drugs and thieves run Revolucion
I just said a prayer as the city moved along
