Went down to Mexico on the Fourth of JulyI got a tattoo of a moth and a butterflyHad a little time to burn, a little money to spendSo I bought a switchblade for each of my friendsPablo and Dan had a plan sayWe gonna get richPut the double crossOn a double crossin' narco-snitchJust a dirty little two-man job,But it's a sure-fire winAnd brother when we cut him down,We gonna cut you in...Yeah dumb and drunk as I wasYou know I'd do it all againBack when I bought a switchbladeFor each of my friendsThey were sharp enough to stabAnother hole in the skyHard enough to make the proudest diamond sighFaster than the rockets on the Fourth of JulyStrong and cruel enoughTo make a statue of Mary cry...Letras de cancionesThey said, amigo don'tcha worryNow we gonna disappearJust for a couple of months...Now it's been almost a yearYeah if you want that kind of money,Man you gotta stay braveFederales are pullin' bodies out of shallow gravesYeah dumb and drunk as I wasYou know I'd do it all againBack when I bought a switchbladeFor each of my friendsThey were sharp enough to stabAnother hole in the skyHard enough to make the proudest diamond sighFaster than the rockets on the Fourth of JulyStrong and cruel enoughTo make a statue of Mary cry...Later in the fall, I got a call, Boy won'tcha come down.Maybe put a name with a few unlucky faces we foundNow no matter what I do, can't get my heart to mendSomebody buried a switchblade in each of my friendsYeah dumb and drunk as I wasYou know I'd do it all againBack when I bought a switchbladeFor each of my friendsDumb and drunk as we was I wish I had that time againBefore I buried a switchblade with each of my friendsThey were sharp enough to stab another hole in the skyHard enough to make the proudest diamond sighFaster than the rockets on the Fourth of JulyStrong and cruel enoughTo make a statue of Mary cry...
