Lyrics
Guns, Drugs, & Money
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Drinking cold cerveza in a boiling hot saloon
Chasing shots of tequila
Just about high noon
Outside nuevo laredo
Deep in no man's land
Become a killer or be killed
Face down in the rio grande
Poverty will turn the life of any good man bad
All love and mercy ever learned, he'll soon forget what he had
Guns, drugs, and money under the mexican sky
Guns, drugs, and money; pick your poison or you die
Guns, drugs, and money; a pistol pressed to his head
Choose silver and you're rich; you gonna die if you choose lead
He had a suitcase full of money
Plenty of ammo for his gun
The sweat rolls down his dirty face
His plans have all come undone
It's just a matter of time
No matter how he tries
He hears "plata o plomo, gringo?"
The last words before he dies
