Well I must've walked for fourteen days 
All that I could carry and I made my way 
To the new holy land not a grand parade
Snuck across the border to the USA 
Didn't take to long for me to find some work
Just stood there waiting round in the Texas dirt
And now I lay concrete the way I did back home
From 6am until the light is gone 

Then it's back to the hotel split a case of beer 
One for every person that's living here 
Four dollars an hour but nobody moans 
Cause it's three fifty more than we can get back home 
Then I send the money back down to my sweet wife
So she can tell my children about a better life 
Papa's trying hard just to make it fine
Fifty miles north of that Illegal line 

Late one night they came in thru the door
With guns and lights screaming get on the floor
They cuffed us up tight and hauled us all away 
Couldn't hardly understand a single word they say
Early next morning judge drug us in 
And stared us all down just like guilty men 
He said any of you boys got a thing to say 
I asked him what would he do if he were in my place 
He said there's rules boy and this just ain't the way 
I said sometimes a starving family just can't wait 
But he slammed down his gavel now I'm doing time 
Fifty miles north of that Illegal line
