La Paloma Lyrics - Singles - Chuck Prophet

Nowhere to run 

Pick a direction 

Chinese New Year 

I spied that Dragon 

I chased him off in a stolen Lexus 

Rode across the plains 

Through the state of Texas 

Now I'm drinking ice tea 

Back at the hotel Tarheel Boogie 

Got a western on the cable "Let's make him talk" 

I think that's what he said 

I blinked my eyes and turned around 

Now that mother's dead 

La Paloma, La Paloma 

Left my burden in California 

La Paloma, La Paloma 

Left my burden in California 

She's got long brown hair 

Tied in a ribbon 

When she holds me in her arms 

I'm betrayed and forgiven 

Sand in my shoes 

Salt on my tongue 

Gonna lay my burden down 

'Neath the Mexican sun 

Alright 

Smugglers, vets, cheap housing 

Waves breaking right and left 

Purple mountains 

Pack up the kids, fill up a sack 

Catch ya next Christmas 

If I ever get you back 

Alright 

La Paloma, La Paloma 

Left my burden in California 

La Paloma, La Paloma 

Left my burden in California 

La Paloma, La Paloma 

Left my burden in California 

La Paloma, La Paloma 

Left my burden in California
