it's life after sundown
in a mexican town
south of the border
when the sun goes down in the southern sky
then you know it's time for us to rise
when the sun goes down
you know we'll load all our rounds
and ride for the place that lives by the gun
cover yourself in black
no color in this world we know
cuz only money is gold and life is cheap
when we come to your town
like the resurrection of the dead
only the best will live to the end
[sung]
it's life after sundown
in a mexican town
south of the border
