Grandpa said they're gonna take the land
They won't lay a hand on this place
He says there's money coming in for paying his slips
But I know the bank don't wait
My brother Red ain't got a VA check
For two years worth of war
He's got a plan of attack to make the money back
We're gonna try to settle up the score
With that M9 pistol, standard issue
Jet Black Pontiac, hammer to the floor
Duffle bag ammo, government Camo
One last job and we'll never be poor
Blood red money with a gun in my hand
Gotta make it to the waters of the Rio Grande
We caught a little heat in Pearsall
Then we lost 'em in Carrizo Springs
Even hit up Dilley and Crystal City
Then burned it down 83
We cut over to Jim Hogg County
They were waiting and aimed to kill
So we fired back and ditched half the stash
Just outside of Hebbronville
He's got an M9 pistol, standard issue
Jet Black Pontiac, hammer to the floor
Duffle bag ammo, government Camo
One last job and we'll never be poor
Blood red money with a gun in my hand
Gotta make it to the waters of the Rio Grande
Things cooled off, when we shot through the valley
Made it to McAllen in record time
Red says we're in the free and clear
Round up the bags, it'll be just fine
Something don't sit right with me
Couldn't get away that easily
Next thing you know it's all red and blue
Hot Damn Boy, here come the troops
Grab up the bags and head to the line
Red screams, "Y'all won't take me alive!"
Straight to the water, but she slowed us down
Long enough for Red to take a few rounds
From that M9 pistol, standard issue
Jet Black Pontiac, hammer to the floor
Duffle bag ammo, government Camo
One last job and we'll never be poor
Never even made it cross the river's edge
'Cause we got pumped full of Federale Lead
Got Red's blood all on my hands
Washed in the waters of the Rio Grande
Aw, yeah, eyes washed in the waters of the Rio Grande
Washed in the water
Washed in the waters of the Rio Grande
Yeah, washed in the waters of the Rio Grande
(Washed in the water)
Washed in the waters of the Rio Grande
