Lyrics
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 para 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
Lyrics translation
I left Corpus because I didn't pay the rent.
In San Antonio I found another account
There in the valley the chariots were looking for me
They sparkled because they never found me
At midnight I left for Laredo
But even there I couldn't find a location
In Austin, I knew my parents were looking for me.
It's been a while since a five sent them.
That's why now, they call me Tracalera
All over Texas, they won't let me rest
See if in Houston, I earn my money
And even though I don't sleep, I'll come and pay you
There in Dallas I found a mullet
"come for Waco I have coin»
But the law that was watching him
The next day he was caught smuggling
There in Victoria I was stopped by the police
For several checks and a fair I owed
I called pa ' the field, I want to talk to my sister
She's asleep, my niece answers.
That's why now, they call me Tracalera
All over Texas, they won't let me rest
See if in Houston, I earn my money
And even though I don't sleep, I'll come and pay you
