Escaped to Puerto Rico
Got myself a beer and a lady
Shooting pool in bar
The locals call «El Crown»
She makes believe all my dreams
Then she sleeps like a baby
In a dirty cheap hotel I found
The edge of town
The sweat pours down my face as I walk down the street
the people look at me like I’m a little crazy
«There’s a couple of gringo suits asking for you señor»
Says the boy who shines my boots
The heat kicks on
And it makes me all lazy
Fan ceiling cools my skin
As I count my loot
I’m just heading for the next gas station
That’ll take me further from the border baby
My mistake was to break it up with you
My frustration was the expectation
That you under-rated our passion baby
My mistake was confiding it to you
Red dust fills my lungs
And it makes me all dizzy
I wanna fly on my bike
But she wants me to stay
A faint knock on the door
It’s «La Policía»
She lays a 42 in my hand
And asks me to prey
A mean motherfucker
With a vest of Alpaca
Rattle snake boots
A 44 from his papa
Breaks down the door
Reads the note on the bed
«If you want the doe
You better raise the dead»
We kick up the dust
As we cross the state
Stopped twice to make love
And once she ate
I got ready to zoom
But she told me to chill
She got us a room
And I got the bill
I wake up in a daze
And sitting on the bed
The mean motherfucker
Magnum to my head
I see my own reflection
In his Ray Ban eyes
«Don’t move amigo
Or you gonna die»
She licks me on the cheek
As she holds my loot
Walks out to his car
Throws it in the boot
Before they drive off
She blows me a kiss
and says «Hey gringo
Don’t take it personally»
I’m just heading for the next gas station
That’ll take me further from the border baby
My mistake was to break it up with you
My frustration was the expectation
That you under-rated our passion baby
My mistake was confiding it to you
