letra de born in laredo - original broadway cast of hands on a hardbody

Loading...

[jesus]
you look at me
and i see what you see

someone who comes to your country
and takes all your jobs
who’s living here illegally

did i float on a raft?
cross the rio grande?
or hide under cardboard and hay
in an old flatbed truck
to steal into your land?

you look at me
and you think i run dope
a k!ller, my gang’s name carved into my arm
just a monster unworthy of hope

or you look at me
and think, “he’s not too bright
let him cut gr-ss, bus dishes
shine shoes at the mall
clean the stalls at the grayhound at night.”

you wish that i’d never come
from the country i’m from

but i’m born in laredo
my sister was born in fort worth
born in laredo
american by birth
i went to school
and i dreamed of a home and a car
and i’m born in laredo
every inch of the texan you are!

i look at you
and i see a brick wall
someone who’s made up his mind
based on just what he sees
and i see he sees nothing at all

cause i look at you
do you know what i see?
someone who comes from a family
that sailed long ago
in search of a new life like me

did they come here alone?
were they viewed with alarm?
did they work to the bone for their family
dreaming of land and a small working farm?
if they came here today
i would pray for their soul
and hope they’d run fast
or they’d never get past
the volunteer border patrol

my parents slept on the floor
and they hoped i’d have more

[men]
hoped i’d have more…

[women]
hoped i’d have more…

[jesus]
and i’m born in laredo
where i learned how to fight my own fights!
raised in laredo
beer and hot dogs and friday night lights!
my grandfather came
made a raft from the hood of a car
but i’m born in laredo
every inch of the texan you are!

we came to this country
like you came to this country
and i’m born in laredo!

[contestants]
born in laredo!

[jesus]
every inch of the texan you are!
