It aint gonna do me any good
And please don't offer me your modern methods
By fixing to carve this out of wood
From Nogales to Magdalena
There are 60 miles of sacred road
And the promise is made to those who venture
San Francisco lift your load
In the land of old Sonora
A shallow river valley cries
The summer left her without forgiveness
It's mirrored in her children's eyes
Prodigle sons and wayward daughters
Carry mandalas that they made
He delivered from the depths of darkness
And born again by candlelight
And born again by candlelight
Blisters on my feet
Wooden rosary
I felt them in my pocket as I ran
A bullet in the night
A feather of his life
San Francisco do you understand?
Tell them that I've made the journey
And tell them that my heart is true
I'd like his blessing of forgiveness
Before the angels send it through
And I will know that I am clean
And I will dance and the band will play
And the old
And if I should fall to temptation
When I return to the evil throws
From Nogales to Magdalena
As a two time beggar I will go
Where I know I can be forgiven
The broken heart of Mexico
The broken heart of Mexico
The broken heart of Mexico
Please don't tell me I can't make it It aint gonna do me any good And please don't offer me your modern methods By fixing to carve this out of wood From Nogales to Magdalena There are 60 miles of sacred road And the promise is made to those who venture San Francisco lift your load In the land of old Sonora A shallow river valley cries The summer left her without forgiveness It's mirrored in her children's eyes Prodigle sons and wayward daughters Carry mandalas that they made He delivered from the depths of darkness And born again by candlelight And born again by candlelight Blisters on my feet Wooden rosary I felt them in my pocket as I ran A bullet in the night A feather of his life San Francisco do you understand? Tell them that I've made the journey And tell them that my heart is true I'd like his blessing of forgiveness Before the angels send it through And I will know that I am clean And I will dance and the band will play And the old And if I should fall to temptation When I return to the evil throws From Nogales to Magdalena As a two time beggar I will go Where I know I can be forgiven The broken heart of Mexico The broken heart of Mexico The broken heart of Mexico Explain Request ×
