La Tracalera

«the tracalera"*
Please remember! this translation is my personal work. it is sometimes
difficult to translate word for word from spanish to english, so it may sound
awkward in one languange when it is perfectly
Ral in the other. but I think you can get the general idea!
Payments who moves from place to place looking for work.
I left corpus because I didnt pay the rent
In san antonio I found myself with another bill
Over there in the valley the guys from the car
(company) were looking for me They were seeing red because they never found me At midnight I started out for laredo
But even there I couldnt find a hideout
In austin I found out that my parents were
Looking for me It had been some time that I didnt
Even send them five bucks
That is why they now call me tracalera
All over texas, they dont let me rest
Lets see if in houston, I can earn some money
And Ill come to pay them even though it means
I dont sleep
There in dallas I found myself a man
«come out here to waco, Ive got some cash»
But the law was out looking for him
The next day they caught him with contraband
There in victoria the police stopped me For a few (forged) checks and a fine that I owed
I called out to the country (home),
I want to talk to my sister, but
Shes sleeping, and my niece answers the phone
That is why they now call me tracalera
All over texas, they dont let me rest
Lets see if in houston, I can earn some money
And Ill come to pay them even though it means
I dont sleep.
