Tom Russell - Hills of Old Juarez lyrics
I lost my mind ten years ago a-wanderin’ through the world Let’s cut right to the quick I met me a dark-eyed girl I was living in El Paso with a woman named Inez We’d stare out every evening at the hills of old Juarez Inez she’d had a granddaddy who’d owned the dry good store He’d climb up on his roof at night and watch Pancho Villa’s war Jack Pershing come with silver guns - “For Villa” Granddad said But Pancho he went underground in the hills of old Juarez Chorus: Those rollin’ smoky hills of old Juarez Those god forsaken hills They will lure you to your death Beware the dusty hills of old Juarez “There’s gold in them there hills”, so said a man with a broken tooth We could run some cocaine powder right on by the custom’s booth I was broke, I needed money to pacify Inez So I started doing business in the hills of old Juarez The adrenaline and blood boiled up - oh man ain’t this a rush When you’re running through the gunfire and the Okatio brush My partner was a Tiwa kid straight off of the ‘res But he ratted me and disappeared in the hills of old Juarez A bullet in my back, a bullet in my leg Bullets flying by my ears they taught me how to pray I prayed I’d reach the river bank where I had left Inez But I fell through rock and prickly pear in the hills of old Juarez Chorus The Narco Trafficante boys, they own the borderline Fat cats up in Washington piss and moan and whine I’m in Huntsville Prison, I’m dreaming of Inez She’s waiting for me there in the hills of old Juarez Chorus Those god forsaken hills of old Juarez |
