We Are Augustines

Lyrics to Juarez



The old man turned and scratched his chin

He said "Son I wouldn't know where to begin, but your

daddy's gone,

He's gone down south... it was all he would talk about"



We never blamed it on the soil

Or the sunburned earth

Or the prices of the oil

This border town is my home

I got rattlesnake guts

In a desert full of bones



Tell my sister I've gone and to find someone

cause I won't come back no more, no more



Lord I see red and it's storming in my head

I got cathedrals in my ears and I think my Daddy's dead

Lord I see red and I'm prayin' on my bed

I got a drunk for a mother

Got a saint for a brother



Now the sun is shinin' on my hood

The statue on the dashboard

Of Maria looks beautiful,

And I'm headin' down south

I got tequila in my veins

And the devil in my mouth,



Tell my sister I've gone

And to find someone

Cause I won't comeback no more...

No more



Lord I see red and it's storming in my head

I got cathedrals in my ears and I think my Daddy's dead

Lord I see red and I'm prayin' on my bed

I got a drunk for a mother

Got a saint for a brother



But hey it's alright

I got jukebox tears and stones for eyes

Hey it's alright

I got jukebox tears

Under turquoise skies...

Hey.



So now I got hell on my trail

It took some demons to get even

No my demons are countin' rosaries

We never blamed it on the soil

Or the sun scorched earth

Where the desert meets the sky



Tell my sister I've gone and to find someone

Cause I won't come back no more...

No more.



Lord I see red and it's storming in my head

I got cathedrals in my ears and I think my Daddy's dead

Lord I see red and I'm prayin' on my bed

I got a drunk for a mother

Got a saint for a brother



Lord I see red and it's storming in my head

I got cathedrals in my ears and I think my Daddy's dead

Lord I see red and I'm prayin' on my bed

I got a drunk for a mother

Got a saint for a brother



I got a drunk for a mother

Got a saint for a brother

I got a drunk for a mother

Got a saint for a brother.

I got a drunk for a mother
