The Illegal Line lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well I must've walked for fourteen days
All that I could carry and I made my way
To the new Holy Land not a grand parade
Snuck across the border to the USA

[Verse 2]
Didn't take too long for me to find some work
Just stood there waitin' 'round in the Texas dirt
And now I lay concrete the way I did back home
From six a.m. until the light is gone

[Verse 3]
Then it's back to the hotel, split a case of beer
One for every person that's livin' here
Four dollars-an-hour but nobody moans
'Cause it's three-fifty more than we can get back home

[Verse 4]
Then I send the money back down to my sweet wife
So she can tell my children 'bout a better life:
"Papa's tryin' hard just to make it fine
"Fifty miles north of that illegal line"

[Instrumental]
