D-DU-UDU
Moonlight out on the water
The salty air touching my skin
Walking with a barefoot woman
On the Padre Island sand
She was golden brown
Her hair shines
Just like silver
The words left unspoken
But there was something strong
There between us
The crowd down in Reynosa
Filled the arena with their cheers
The blood flowed
In the hot afternoon
They sit and laugh
And drink their beer
But her face was just like stone
She left her heart unguarded
I fell so hard for her
Down by the border
