[Verse 1]
Sun beat down on a one-road town
Boot prints lined that busted ground
Bandits laughing, bags of grain
Left the wells, left the cupboards drained
Sheriff’s badge on a faded vest
Too few hands, too many threats
Folks all whispered, “We’re done for now”
Sheriff Paco just raised one brow (hmm)
[Chorus]
Paco’s Tacos
Save this town again
Little corn halos
Hot enough to chase bad men
One more skillet
One more prayer in smoke
Paco’s Tacos
Make the wicked choke
[Verse 2]
Bandit chief with a jagged scar
Rode right into the saloon bar
Kicked the doors, said, “This place mine”
Spilled their hope like cheap red wine
Paco smiled, “Boys, take a seat
Last request’s a plate to eat”
Bandits chuckled, guns held low
Till they smelled that simmering glow (oh-oh)
[Chorus]
Paco’s Tacos
Save this town again
Little corn halos
Hot enough to chase bad men
One more skillet
One more prayer in smoke
Paco’s Tacos
Make the wicked choke
[Bridge]
[Band drops to guitar and trumpet]
Sizzle on the pan, saints in the steam
Fire-roasted justice, hotter than their schemes
One bite, two bites, eyes start to brim
Heats their hearts ’til the hate falls dim (hey!)
[Chorus]
Paco’s Tacos
Save this town again
Little corn halos
Hot enough to chase bad men
Plates left empty
But the streets got hope
Paco’s Tacos
Made the devil go
[Outro]
Horses running, dust trail thin
Bandits gone, town breathes again
If trouble rides where the sand wind blows
You call the man with the magic tacos (olé)
