hombre, ven aqui

I was born by candlelight
in a shotgun shack
by the Mexican border
all my life I've known who I am
I'm an American
on the side of law and order
I got a wife and I got three kids
plenty of food in the cupboard and fridge
every night I patrol the bridge
that goes one way and not the other
hombre, ven aqui,
escuchar a mi
I'll set you free, my brother

I will give you water
I will give you beans
we've got an extra room and
I know why you're here
look, you don't have to fear
ese, this is only human
you're safe here and you can see
we'll treat you as family
you're a lucky man to have found me
