about

This is about a trip down through Mexico (and how harrowingly dangerous it can be) that Americo and I made a while back.

lyrics

every god damn day is like the road to monterrey
it’s your holiday and your still trying to get away

mist on the mountain
breathtaking height
don’t look to the right
it drops out of sight
the rental’s a rattle
the highway’s a snake
your foot’s on the break

every god damn day is like the road to monterrey
it’s your holiday and your still trying to get away

middle of nowhere
two narrow lanes
down come the rains
there’s no wiper blades
it turns into night
some blind with their brights
some stop without lights

checkpoint kid’s got guns
your hope to hell he don’t search you for drugs
can’t make out what he wants
your cowboy’s cap, screw that!

every god damn day is like the road to monterrey
it’s your holiday and your still trying to get away

here comes a tractor trailer
another in your mirror
there’s no kind of shoulder
no place to get over
just plastic flowers laid
by all the roadside graves
so many close shaves

the cop’s a crooked bum
your taillight’s out, he thinks he can get some
but you know to play dumb
that lazy jerk hates paperwork!
