El Camino Real de los Tejas

 

A WPA highway crumbling in the sun

Oriented west where dreams disappear

Among the beer cans and the cinder blocks:

El Camino Real de los Tejas

 

Sharing a joint, throwing rocks at snakes

Where the Santa Fe tracks used to run

Now there’s not even a bus out of town:

El Camino Real de los Tejas

 

They don’t even know that they’re the sons of kings:

In exile along El Camino Real
