Paroles de Just Across The Rio Grande

The lights of Laredo dance on the water And shine in a young man's eyes Who stand on the border And dreams of paradise He's heard crazy stories of how people live Over in the promised land He heard they eat three meals a day Just across the Rio Grande He's got a wife named Maria And a baby named Rose And another one to feed on the way Two willing hand That couldn't find work today He stares at the river and curses the future That he can't understand He knows the child would have a chance Justacross the Rio Grande It's only a river That's not so deep or wide A boy can throw a stone across And reach the other side It's just some muddy water Cutting through the land But a man can make a dream come true Just across the Rio Grande The lights of Laredo dance on the water And shine in a young man's eyes Who stand on the border And dreams of paradise. He's heard crazy stories of how good life is Over in the promised land And sometimes it seems like God must live Just across the Rio Grande Sometimes it seems like God must live Just across the Rio Grande
