There was that time in West Virginia when the cops showed up when the shop blowed up where we didn't know what was gonna happen they messed the whole place up and tried to kill my dad took all the money I had and what was really bad was I couldn't do nothing to stop them I had to move to Mexico to get away you reap the seeds you sow or so they say I spent most nights hanging out at a place called The Rainbow Bar drinking cervezas all night long singing mexican love songs getting all the words all wrong and not giving a damn hoping that my luck might change feeling crazy acting strange never worrying about the danger I was in well I've had a mighty bad run of luck since you left town sometimes you hit the brakes but you can't slow down I know what I want on my damn tombstone when they put me in the ground tell them to write it big and tall or not at all just put I'm good now well as the story goes things only got worse fell in love with a nurse she smuggled drugs in her purse she worked for doctor Gonzales Songtexteit turns out the doctor was a mighty mean man who couldn't understand how things could get our of hand but then he had to find out though he tried to stop her one night well she pulled out a knife there was a struggle and then he fell there in the end as she ran home he lay on the floor dying wondering about the things he'd done thinking about his life and the fun he'd had choices that he'd made and the roads he had taken and he thought about his kids and all the crazy things he did and he wondered if anything at all really matters when your life is almost over and there's no hope to be found when you're dying and the blood is spilling out over the ground and the last words he said thought he hardly made a sound and he spoke each word in spanish cause he couldn't speak no english he said I'm good now Aus Songtexte Mania
