Human Dragon

We was joined at the hip
By the fire breathing man
Fighting our way through Laredo
The border's a gutter
Sucking scum from both sides
But it's the only hope for Johnny me
And the human dragon

We was lying up there in that hotel room
Looking out across the Rio Grande
Tiny blotch of mud across the Texas sand
Johnny felt like living on the slightly darker side
And said let's cross the river into Mexico tonight
Into Mexico tonight - Into Mexico tonight
I said uh uh man I'm too tired
Tommorrow's gonna be a real long day
If you go alone you better watch your back
Better make sure you don't come back dead
Come back and get me if it gets real excitin'
And that's something I ain't seen before
Or the last time I wanted more in Mexico

Refrain

Everybody's smuggling somethin
From turtle skin to marijuana
I'm smuggling recipes tattooed to Jumbo's body
Johnny's snapping everything from pictures to his fingers
I'm reading the red print and betting it's the only way to go
Down in Mexico

Refrain

Man the road to Monterey was paved
With movie sets for would be stars
Faded Coca-Cola on ghost town haciendas
That Mexican blanket made me think about you
One day I'm coming back on a slow track
With my baby to Mexico

Refrain
