lyrics

fates blamed saddled up a border run
nameless migra
guereca starin at the barrel of the gun
middle school drug runner

juarez must be so much fun
juarez must be so much fun

now they frame the story what's been done
coyote shifting in the mexico sun
he's target at 14 years young
juarez seems like so much fun
now they frame the story what's been done
coyote shifting in the mexico sun
he's target at 14 years young
juarez seems like so much fun

james came in at 145 (lbs)
chris and kyle came heavy and tall
bone broken body 26 times
and they blame it on one fall
now they're both gone

now there gone willie
since they were unwilling
now there gone willie
since they were unwilling
