(Intro)
A truck rolled out of Durango
About two or three in the morning time
Two pretty girls riding shotgun
Hauling coke and that Mary on the shine
They dressed up like holy sisters
Just to make it to Tijuana town
Checkpoints never stopped the nuns
Respect kept the questions down
(Interlude)
The highway guards just waved them through
Didn't dare to search their load
Guess they trusted the convent
Never thought of what they towed
Two big-time smugglers laughing
Passing dope right under beards
While the engine kept on humming
Rolling fearless, no fear
(Interlude)
No gal is bored in inspection lane
A fed who didn't pray much that day
Started asking lots of questions
Looking sideways at what they'd say
Where you coming from, sisters?
What you're hauling in that truck?
Said the boss of the federales
With a feeling in his gut
Calm as saints they smiled and answered
Headed to an orphan home
Those boxes there are milk and tea
For the kids with nowhere to go
If you don't believe us, officer
Well then, brother, that's on you
But he said routine inspection
I just gotta see it through
I got a hunch that powdered milk
Ain't so innocent tonight
Feels like milk turned into cocaine
Under holy candlelight
(Interlude)
With a mocking smile he leaned in close
Said kids won't drink tonight
Tell me, sisters, what's your name?
Just trying to be polite
One said "Call me Sister Juana"
The other said "Surprised instead"
They lifted up their habits fast
Pulled machine guns, painted red
Shots rang loud across the border
Federales hit the ground
The truck peeled out, full throttle
Dust and sirens was the sound
Now Durango's missing two nuns
Never made it back again
Rumor says they're rich and loaded
Living free in Sacramento land
Two nuns from Durango left before the break of dawn
Holy robes and dirty money crossed the line and then were gone
Two nuns from Durango, that load made it safe and sound
Prayers don't stop the devil when the wheels are spinning 'round
(Outro)
