Border radio is playing low; a sonnet,
Stationed 'cross the Rio Grande and
Can't tell what she's singin',
it's a language I don't know
But if she's singin' of her homeland,
Well I lost that station drivin' through
Broken heart outside of Marfa
while a Spanish angel sang
Can't tell what she's singin',
it's a language I don't know
But if she's singin' of her homeland,
When I pulled into the motel,
she was stuck inside my head
I can't tell what she's singin',
it's a language I don't know
But if she's singin' of her homeland,
Border radio is playing low; a sonnet,
Stationed 'cross the Rio Grande
and broadcast on an AM band
Can't tell what she's singin',
it's a language I don't know
But if she's singin' of her homeland,
that's where I'm bound to go
Think she's singin' of her homeland,
that's where I'm bound to go...
