                                  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
