Amigo Lyrics

Tim Staffell Amigo

He was a simple man
But  he lost everything he owned
From  the shirt upon his back
And to his wife, his kids, his home

She was a lonely woman
She  had no place she could go
Across  the border late one night
She led her children, don't you know

Those  avenues of island lives
Pass like strangers in the night
Come together, live in peace
Amigo, be released

They  were old, they were tired
They couldn't sense it anymore
‘Cause every time they turned around
The system knocked them to the floor

They had enough of lyin'
So they took up the guns and knives
Impacted everybody's lives
And finally they were sacrificed

Blood and anger fill the halls
It's running down like waterfalls
Lately time is racing on
Amigo, you'll be gone
