Brownsville
Stranded in Brownsville: A Tale of Broken Roads and Broken Trust
Lyrics
I was on my way to Mexico
I was en route to Mexico
Passing through a little border town
Passing through a small border town
I was on my way to Mexico
Reiteration of heading to Mexico
When my '68 Mustang broke down
'68 Mustang broke down
Pushed it to a cheap motel parking lot
Pushed the car to a budget motel parking lot
Looking for someone to help me out
Seeking assistance in the town
People look at me like I've done them wrong
People judging unfairly, feeling accused
I've got trouble on my hands, without a doubt
Facing serious problems
Nowhere to go, no buses tonight
Stranded with no transportation options
Can't get a ride unless it's fer free
Unable to get a ride unless it's free
No shoes for walking, not a train in sight
Lacking suitable footwear and no trains available
The only person who I can trust is me
Self-reliance, trusting only oneself
Way down south by a Motel 6
In the southern part near a Motel 6
I'm passed out in a car that I can't fix
Unconscious in a broken car
I'd be dead if people's looks could kill
Feeling threatened by hostile looks
Cause I ended up stuck in Brownsville
Ended up trapped in Brownsville
I'm stuck in Brownsville
Stuck in Brownsville
With no way outta town
No means of leaving the town
Stuck dead in Brownsville
Completely stranded in Brownsville
Not a friendly soul around
No friendly individuals around
What did I do? It wasn't a crime
Questioning actions, insisting it wasn't a crime
We settled the score and had no regrets
Settled a dispute with no regrets
Said my sorries 'n' did my time
Apologized and served time, but not forgiven
Not good enough, they'll never forget
Unforgiving memories persist
Nowhere to go, no buses tonight
Stranded again with no transportation options
Can't catch a ride unless it's fer free
Unable to get a ride unless it's free
No walking shoes, not a train in sight
Still lacking suitable footwear, no trains
The only person who I can trust is me
Continued self-reliance, trusting only oneself
Way down south by a Motel 6
In the southern part near a Motel 6
I'm passed out in a car that I can't fix
Unconscious in a broken car
I'd be dead if people's looks could kill
Feeling threatened by hostile looks
Cause I ended up stuck in Brownsville
Remains trapped in Brownsville
