Fell into painting houses in Phoenix
I'd been there a week, picked up illegal on the street
The kid was nineteen years old
Had a wife and kid in Laredo, Mexico
The suburbs in that town are a sprawl
We never knew where we were at all
We worked five days straight then we didn't pick him up
And I knew that the kid had never been paid
Probably just waited at the meeting spot all day
We drove to a different part of town
Picked up another kid for a job in the suburbs
I didn't show up the next day
I ain't shit but I ain't that way
Got a job as a janitor at Turf Paradise
And I moved in with a girl who worked on the backside
At night I'd always read the news
The metro section of the Scottsdale Tribune
A family left in the trunk of a car
Or a family abandoned in the desert alone
To watch your horse break down
Or your girlfriend who can't stand the sight of her own face
Or to watch your sister drink her life away
Get me out of here, get me out, get me out of here
Get me out of here, get me out, get me out of here
