The Tarasco
First they gave me wings
And now they want to hold me back
I’m not some puppet on a string
That they can control
I’m not Juan Colorado
But I’m from Michoacán
How much will it cost to cross
From Michoacán to Colima?
I’ve got my sights set
On the aguaje and eagles
There the roosters are classy
And the girls are pretty
Stop wasting money on radars
Or tearing up my tracks
I’m a night owl
Landing in any cornfield
Besides, the day I fall
Many from up there will fall too
They got me out of jail
Because it suited them
The bag got too big for them
And they’re wiping me off the list
I just got back from Chicago
I’ll settle those scores soon
Because of some treacherous fingers
I had a setback in Uruapan
Also, my pretty girl
Let me down over in Sahuayo
I’m an effective Tarasco
I’ll pay you back soon
Stop wasting money on radars
Or tearing up my tracks
I’m a night owl
Landing in any cornfield
Besides, the day I fall
Many from up there will fall too
