The Illegal Line - Will Hoge[00:00:00]

Well I must have walked for fourteen days[00:00:05]

All that I could carry and I made my way[00:00:11]

To the new holy land not a grand parade[00:00:16]

Snuck across the border to the U S A [00:00:22]

Didn't take too long for me to find some work[00:00:27]

Just stood there waiting round in the Texas dirt[00:00:33]

And now I lay concrete the way I did back home[00:00:39]

From 6 am until the light is gone[00:00:45]

Then it's back to[00:00:50]

The hotel drink a case of beer[00:00:51]

One for every person that's livin' here[00:00:56]

Four dollars an hour but nobody moans[00:01:01]

Cause it's three fifty more[00:01:07]

Than we can get back home[00:01:08]

Then I send the money back down to my sweet wife[00:01:12]

So she can tell my children 'bout a better life[00:01:18]

Papa's trying hard just to make it fine[00:01:24]

Fifty miles north of that illegal line[00:01:29]

Late one night they came in through the door[00:01:59]

With guns and lights screamin' get on the floor[00:02:04]

They cuffed us up tight and hauled us all away[00:02:10]

Couldn't hardly understand[00:02:15]

A single word they'd say[00:02:17]

Early next mornin' judge drug us in[00:02:21]

He stared us all down just like guilty men[00:02:27]

He said any of you boys got a thing to say [00:02:32]

I asked him what would he do if he was in my place[00:02:38]

He said there's rules boy and this just ain't the way[00:02:43]

And I said sometimes a starvin' family just can't wait[00:02:48]

But he slammed down his gavel now I'm doing time[00:02:55]

Fifty miles north of that illegal line[00:03:00]

Fifty miles north of that illegal line-eeeeee[00:03:06]
