Kris Kristofferson Michoacan Lyrics

Michoacan Lyrics

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 till 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
