Bruce Springsteen - Balboa Park - Sözleri

He lay his blanket underneath the freeway 

As the evening sky grew dark 

Took a sniff of toncho from his coke can 

And headed through Balboa Park 

Where the men in their Mercedes 

Come nightly to employ 

In the cool San Diego evening 

The services of the border boys 



He grew up near the Zona Norte 

With the hustlers and smugglers he hung out with 

He swallowed their balloons of cocaine 

Brought 'em across to the Twelfth Street strip 

Sleeping in a shelter 

If the night got too cold 

Runnin' from the migra 

Of the border patrol 



Past the salvage yard 'cross the train tracks 

And in through the storm drain 

They stretched their blankets out 'neath the freeway 

And each one took a name 

There was X-man and Cochise 

Little Spider his sneakers covered in river mud 

They come north to California 

End up with the poison in their blood 



He did what he had to for the money 

Sometimes he sent home what he could spare 

The rest went to high-top sneakers and toncho 

And jeans like the gavachos wear 



One night the border patrol swept Twelfth Street 

A big car come fast down the boulevard 

Spider stood caught in its headlights 

Got hit and went down hard 

As the car sped away Spider held his stomach 

Limped to his blanket 'neath the underpass 

Lie there tasting his own blood on his tongue 

Closed his eyes and listened to the cars 

Rushin' by so fast
