Along the Way

As the gringos block the roads
Inside your head
Are you sleeping it off
When you're not in your bed?

And you pray in the darkness
Let me walk in your light
Let me die in my lover's arms
Let me live through this night

You are watching over
My three brave soldiers
I have not forgotten
I will send you something

So this is the city
So this is progress?
How could something so pretty
Become such a mess?

And there's no more than this steal and stone
There's more than this flesh and bone
There is a little piece of land in me
No other man can own

Who is watching over
My three brave soldiers?
I have not forgotten
I will send you something

Well shut my mouth, I have nothing to say
'Cept, what is this life with no love along the way?
You know that I'm good for it, you know I can pay
And we don't have to look for it, it's right here

It's today
