The Road To Gila Bend - Los Lobos

Made Nogales over night

Through the desert in the yellow light

Missing everything I left behind

Will they see me coming?

Do they know I’m running?

Got to Tucson in the dark…

Keeping an eye out for the law

Five hundred miles or more from a broken heart Can they see me coming?

Do they know I’m running?

It’s a long long way to Gila Bend

One silver dollar in my hand

Road twists and turns is there no end

When I get there I can lay my head — in Gila Bend

Saw a church along the way

A place to hide, to kneel and pray

Help me make it maybe one more day Can they see me coming?

Do they know I’m running?

It’s a long long way to Gila Bend

One silver dollar in my hand

Road twists and turns is there no end

When I get there I can lay my head
