[Verse 1]
Dust on the plaza
Boots on the boardwalk
Bandits came back
With fire in their jaws
Sheriff Pacos Tacos
Checked the empty barrel
Counted his peppers
And the broken door
They laughed at the warning
They smiled at the scorch
Said, “We can take it”
As they rode in from north
[Pre-Chorus]
Pacos shook his hat brim
Looked at the crowd
One old trick was gone now
And the town needed loud
He said, “If spice won’t stop them
Then I’ll change the game”
A slow grin found his face
And he called out his name
[Chorus]
Pacos Tacos, ride again
Pacos Tacos, make a plan
Pacos Tacos, save this town
Turn the bandits upside down
Pacos Tacos, hold that line
Pacos Tacos, one more time
If they can take the heat
He’ll win by something sweet
[Verse 2]
He sent for the baker
The honey man too
Pulled every neighbor
Into something new
Char grilled the corncobs
Wrapped up the chiles
Poured lime on the tables
And stacked the plates in piles
When the bandits hit the square
They bit and then they froze
Not from the pepper
From the punch of those tacos
[Pre-Chorus]
Pacos raised a platter
Like a shield in the sun
“Come hungry, amigos
This fight can be won”
The bandits slowed down
With sauce on their sleeves
Spice was just a doorway
To what Pacos believed
[Chorus]
Pacos Tacos, ride again
Pacos Tacos, make a plan
Pacos Tacos, save this town
Turn the bandits upside down
Pacos Tacos, hold that line
Pacos Tacos, one more time
If they can take the heat
He’ll win by something sweet
[Bridge]
Then one bandit softened
Fell right to his knees
Said, “Sheriff, that flavor
Can make a hard man ease”
So Pacos handed over
A plate and a grin
The town found its laughter
And the peace rolled in
[Final Chorus]
Pacos Tacos, ride again
Pacos Tacos, make a plan
Pacos Tacos, save this town
Turn the bandits upside down
Pacos Tacos, hold that line
Pacos Tacos, one more time
If they can take the heat
He’ll win by something sweet
Pacos Tacos, ride again
Pacos Tacos, one more time
