Michoacan Lyrics - Kris Kristofferson

Woke up this morning the border was burning my mind 

Things that I seen that I couldn't be leaving behind me 

Down in this hole in the ground there ain't nothing to see 

But down in Michoacan, paradise waits for me 

North of the border the bodies are bought and they're sold, boy 

Me and a brother was caught turning green into gold 

I'm gonna pay for my crime 'til the day that I'm free 

But down in Michoacan, paradise waits for me 

A rusty car rode across the border, I was inside 

I had two dogs, my red guitar and my teenage bride 

We took a look at a shot in the dark and we found a home 

Where the flowers bloom in Michoacan

A rusty car rode across the border, I was inside 

I had two dogs, my red guitar and my teenage bride 

I'm gonna clean up my act and go back to where I belong 

Where the flowers bloom in Michoacan
