La Tracalera
Johnny Herrera
Salí de Corpus porque no pagué la renta
En San Antonio me encontré con otra cuenta
Allí en el valle los del carro me buscaban
Echaban chispas porque nunca me encontraban
A medianoche me arranqué para Laredo
Pero ni ahi pude encontrar un paradero
En Austin supe que mis padres me buscaban
Hacía tiempo que ni un cinco les mandaba
Por eso ahora, me llaman tracalera
Por todo Texas, no me dejan descansar
A ver si en Houston, me gano mi dinero
Y aunque no duermo yo les vendré a pagar
Allí en Dallas me encontre una mulita
"Vente pa' Waco que yo tengo monedita"
Pero la ley que le andaba vigilando
El día siguiente le pescaron contrabando
Allí en Victoria me paró la policía
Por varios cheques y una feria que debia
Llamé pa' el campo, quiero hablar con mi hermana
Está dormida, me contesta mi sobrina
Por eso ahora, me llaman tracalera
Por todo Texas, no me dejan descansar
A ver si en Houston, me gano mi dinero
Y aunque no duermo yo les vendré a pagar
La Tracalera
Johnny Herrera
I left corpus because i didn't 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 couldn't find a hideout
In Austin I found out that my parents were
Looking for me
At midnight i started out for Laredo
But even there i couldn't find a hideout
In Austin I found out that my parents were
Looking for me
It had been some time that i didn't
Even send them five bucks
That is why they now call me tracalera
All over Texas, they don't let me rest
Let's see if in Houston, i can earn some money
And I'll come to pay them even though it means
I don't sleep
There in Dallas i found myself a man
"come out here to Waco, I've 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
She's sleeping, and my niece answers the phone
That is why they now call me tracalera
All over Texas, they don't let me rest
Let's see if in Houston, i can earn some money
And I'll come to pay them even though it means
I don't sleep.
