Judge Santiago Burdon Poet Rhyme

Renegade Rhapsody

We finally made it to Phoenix Johnny's singing in the shower
We've been waiting for hours 
to take care of business.
Spitting out miles of chewed up road 
Contraband couriers of another load 
now our contact 
doesn't answer the phone
Another night in a cheap Motel
Here I am again lying to myself 
promised to quit this business 
But I had my fingers crossed 
No rain since Culiacan
And my mom 
is probably wonderin'
Where her son's off thunderin' to now
This work costs more than it pays
pissed away every dollar I made
And wore a hole 
in the pocket of my future.
Johnny's dressed just as the telephone rings 
The voice on the line says 
Gila Casino Queens Creek
One more last time we've beat the Devil                                     
It's because we cheat
