[Chorus]
No one walks from San Miguel
Up to Laredo through the gates of Hell
Carrying a crying three year old
Without a good reason to leave home

[Verse 1]
Old South, new ideas, like a
Shopping cart with one bad wheel
You don't throw the whole thing away
'Cause some damn fool is facing the wrong way

[Chorus]
No one walks from San Miguel
Up to Laredo through the gates of Hell
Carrying a crying three year old
Without a good reason to leave home

[Verse 2]
I do not care who you love
Just find you someone who shows up
'Cause when those waves come crashing down
It's nice to know there's still dry ground

[Chorus]
No one walks from San Miguel
Up to Laredo through the gates of Hell
Carrying a crying three year old
Without a good reason to leave home
[Bridge]
And I don't know if there's a god
But I believe in right and wrong
I don't trust the president
But Lord, I love this land we're living in

[Chorus]
And no one walks from San Miguel
Up to Laredo through the gates of Hell
Carrying a crying three year old
Without a good reason to leave home
