America |
| I came through the fence in ‘93 |
| I know that they are after me today |
| I believe this is the land for me |
| Of hope, and grace, and liberty |
| Oh, my grandfather, he told me |
| Son, you’ll never have to run anymore |
| Oh, but I broke the law |
| Which I will surely die for |
| But, now |
| I am on my way |
| I have to leave today |
| Tell my wife and boy that I love them |
| I gave my son to America |
| God, I pray they treat him well |
| Well, my daddy left when I was five |
| I do not know if he’s alive at all |
| And, it’s hard with just my mom and me |
| But I work to feed my family |
| And, I work hard to keep my bitter pay |
| That the rich man comes and takes away |
| So, I killed him in the dead of night |
| With my father’s gun |
| I took his life away |
| I took his life away |
| Now, I say |
| I was on my way |
| I have to leave today |
| Tell my mom and sister that I love them |
| I am on the run |
| From America |
| God, I pray they don’t catch me |
| Now, I sit here in this dirty cell |
| The jailer comes to give me hell |
| They have caught me and my race is run |
| I’ll surely pay for what I’ve done |
| But, then I look up and I see |
| This old man staring at me |
| He tells me I remind him of someone |
| His own boy he left at the age of 5 |
| That probably thought his daddy died |
| And, how he wished he could tell him |
| He would say |
| I was on my way, had to leave that day |
| Tell my wife and boy that I love them |
| I gave my love to America |
| God I pray they treat him well |
| Oh, god I pray they treat well |
| God, I pray they treat him well |
