Quick Sand - Ry Cooder

I left my home in Tamaulipas

In Sonoyta I came across

Just six of us when we started

Walking behind the coyote boss

The old man said let me go there with you

Yes I’m old but I’m mighty tough

I know the fOad maybe I can help you

[ got good shoes I won’t hold you up

But up on Tinajas Altas he stumbled and he fell

He begged and pleaded we had to leave him

Lying on Camino Diablo Trail

Quick sand I think we lost direct ion

Quick sand now we’re losing ground

Quick sand nobody 'round to help us

Quick sand now we’re sinking down

Thought we was getting close to Yuma

I heard it’s an unfriendly town

We just need a cool drink of water

Even Yuma can’t turn a poor boy down

Then a Dodge Ram truck drove down on us

Saying I’m your Arizona vigilante man

I’m here to say you ain’t welcome in Yuma

L’m taking you out just as hard as I can

I saw mi madre crying in her rocking chair alone

I saw La Llorona flying please take a message back home

Quick sand I think we lost direction

Quick sand now we’re losing ground

Quick sand nobody 'round to help us

Quick sand now we’re sinking down
