LYRICS:
I don’t take the paper, I don’t watch TV
I was out on the road when the word got to me
well goddamn the text, couldn’t I just have gone blind
and heard your voice in my ear like I did in my mind

(chorus)
mira vaquero (look yonder vaquero)
se pone el sol (the sun sets)
buen caballero viajando con Dios (fine horseman, travelling with God)
mira vaquero (look yonder vaquero)
no miramos atras (we don’t look back)
nos vamos al campo (let us go to the cow camp)
una vez mas, una vez mas (one more time, one more time)

your chaps are still dusty from late summer’s drouth
when the cedar turn rusty it’s time to go south
when your time is upon you, you don’t always know
“Brinca la vida,” Abuela nos dijo (“Life jumps,” Grandmother told us)
“Brinca la vida,” we learned long ago

(chorus)

so pour out the coffee and piss on the fire
I hear hounds in the distance, it’s down to the wire
make for the cow camp, we might have a chance
vamonos por el campo en el campo we’ll dance
vamonos por el campo en el campo we’ll dance

(chorus)
