[Verse 1]
He lay his blanket underneath the freeway
As the evening sky grew dark
Took a sniff of toncho from his coke can
And headed through Balboa Park
[Verse 2]
Where the men in their Mercedes
Come nightly to employ
In the cool San Diego evening
The services of the border boys
[Verse 3]
He grew up near the Zona Norte
With the hustlers and smugglers he hung out with
He swallowed their balloons of cocaine
Brought them across to the Twelfth Street strip
[Verse 4]
Sleeping in a shelter
If the night got too cold
Running from the migra
Of the border patrol
[Verse 5]
Past the salvage yard across the train tracks
And in through the storm drain
They stretched their blankets out beneath the freeway
And each one took a name
He lay his blanket underneath the freeway
As the evening sky grew dark
Took a sniff of toncho from his coke can
And headed through Balboa Park
[Verse 2]
Where the men in their Mercedes
Come nightly to employ
In the cool San Diego evening
The services of the border boys
[Verse 3]
He grew up near the Zona Norte
With the hustlers and smugglers he hung out with
He swallowed their balloons of cocaine
Brought them across to the Twelfth Street strip
[Verse 4]
Sleeping in a shelter
If the night got too cold
Running from the migra
Of the border patrol
[Verse 5]
Past the salvage yard across the train tracks
And in through the storm drain
They stretched their blankets out beneath the freeway
And each one took a name
