Selected Lyrics

by David Levine


Riding Car Top Down (Excerpt)
Lyrics: Alberto Rios

Arizona sunsets are a dime a dozen
Hard times die young where the boys are men
Women ride the horses anywhere they want to
Stars pack a spark like pins in the sky

Cheileno Boys(Excerpt)
Lyrics: Alberto Rios

The Chileno Boys
Pull their fish by the fins
In the dirt and they sing
About the old time abd the women they will know
Marquita and Caras
The girls in their dream, of when they'll be men
     Not different, not different they say
     Not different from you
