Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I left the ranch at dusk
With dust on my boots
The moon was a silver dime
On a black iron roof
I heard that horse start to run
Like he knew the road
And I kept my eyes on the line
Where the river folds
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the wind got mean
And the sky went cold
I could hear boots behind me
On that desert road
I said, "Hold on, son"
To the pony I rode
'Cause the night don't care
Who it takes below
[Chorus]
When night falls
I disappear
When night falls
I shake my fear
Mexico
Waits down low
When night falls
I let go
[Verse 2]
The federales lit the ridge
With a hard white glare
I cut through the mesquite brush
With a prayer in the air
My hat brim low
And my heart set fast
I took that border dust
And I never looked back
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the wind got mean
And the sky went cold
I could hear boots behind me
On that desert road
I said, "Hold on, son"
To the pony I rode
'Cause the night don't care
Who it takes below
[Chorus]
When night falls
I disappear
When night falls
I shake my fear
Mexico
Waits down low
When night falls
I let go
[Bridge]
[Mariachi lift]
Nylon strings cry
Through the canyon bend
Trumpets call my name
Like an old-time friend
Across that line
Where the red dust lies
I swear I was born
For a restless life
[Chorus]
When night falls
I disappear
When night falls
I shake my fear
Mexico
Waits down low
When night falls
I let go
