Safeside - James Mcmurtry

Down in Piedras Negras you gotta watch yourself

There's a whole lotta hungry

People lookin' to share some wealth

And when the oilfield's busted

And the peso takes a dive

Stay off the side streets if you

Wanna come back alive

Yo no busca nada I'm just standin' here

Mindin' my own business

Gonna get back outta here

Back to the safe side

Back to the safe side

At the base of the barstool

There's a drain' in the floor

You better not go in there

You don't know what that's for

It's no place to take your lady

She'll get the evil eye

Sizing up their prospects

Sharpin' up their knives

No me gusta nada

Yo no queiro ver

Once I get across this river

Never gonna go back there

Stayin' on the safe side

Stayin' on the safe side

Yo no fuma mota yo no quiero ver

Once I get across this river

Never gonna go back there

Up in San Antonio all the pretty people know

They better stay off the west side

Where the black tar flows

They hide in their sheltered

Enclaves up around Olmos Park

They got their own policeman

We can stay out way past dark

Back down in Piedras Negra

The children play with dirt

We keep our pistols loaded so we won't get hurt

No importa a nadie it's always been that way

Never gonna get no different

Long as we got our say

Stay on the safe side

Stay on the safe side

No me gusta nada it's always been that way

Never gonna get no different long

As we got our say

Stay on the safe side

Stay on the safe side

Stay on the safe side
