The Mountains of Nuevo Leon Songtext
von Paul Eason

I crossed the mountains in the summer time
They rose straight out of the plains
Took to livin′ in a northern town
Where nobody knows my name

The sun is hotter than the salsa here
The salsa here don't mess around
So I just sit out in the shade all day
And watch the clouds roll in and out

I know a good place to find a bad man
He can get you whatever I can′t
You wont mind if you never go home
Out in the mountains in Neuvo León
Out in the mountains in Neuvo León

They ain't got no margaritas here
Unless the güeros pay enough
But they got liquor in the grocery stores
And it's as cheap as the roads are rough


I know a good place to find a bad man
He can get you whatever I can′t
Here it′s easy to forget where you're from
Out in the mountains in Neuvo León
Out in the mountains in Neuvo León

A Texas river still calls my name
And I hope I wont be too long
Then again I got another day
And I got time for one more song

I know a good place to find a bad man
He can get you whatever I can′t
You won't mind if they bury your bones
Out in the mountains in Neuvo León
Out in the mountains in Neuvo León

I crossed the river in the summer time
It rolled right on down the plain
Took to livin in a northern town
Where nobody knows my name
