Lyrics
Smuggling Contraband
Well I’ve been driving
This border highway
Like I done
A million times before
And I see red lights in the distance
Time to lay low
And head on off this road
Well I got me
A load of ninety kilos
Of Mexicana Yerba Verde
In the back of
This here o’l pick up
And I’m trying to keep my distance
From the border man
There’s a sign up ahead
Familiar as the back of this hand
I got seven more miles
Till I round Tecate Bend
Well I turn on my AM radio
To the crackle of a Mariachi band
And the soaring sound
Of a Mexican crooner
Confessing to a forbidden love
Mi Vida Corazon, Heehole,
There’s a sign up ahead
Familiar as the back of this hand
I got seven more miles
Till I round Tecate Bend
Well I’m staring out my windshield
A Watching the mile markers pass
I got Mexico to my south side
And a place I hardly recognize to my north
There’s a sign up ahead
Familiar as the back of this hand
I got seven more miles
Till I round Tecate Bend
Well I’m trying to get on home
With out a losing this here load
Or meeting up with Mr Customs Man
Getting busted
And winding up in hand cuffs
I do believe its a minimum mandatory ten year in a federal penatentary
It aint easy Smuggling Contraband
And a direct violation of a Federal regulation
It aint easy Smuggling Contraband
It aint easy Smuggling Contraband
It aint easy Smuggling Contraband
