Lyrics:

The city lights are pretty bright
so he hitched a ride north from the border
With a little luck he’ll make a buck,
rent a house and buy a four-door
Every day he’ll wake and say a prayer
to God, the Father
That it won’t be long ‘til he can send for
Mom and Juan, his brother
But the lights don’t shine in the city
for Ramón
He spends a lot of time waiting for a
chance in the job lines
And he knows that things are rough when
he remembers home as the good times
Every day he’ll wake and say a prayer
to God, the Father
He still believes the old man will come through
with one thing or another
But the lights don’t shine in the city
for Ramón

Birds fly south (también en sueños Ramón)
Birds fly south

63 days 63 nights, well that’s a pretty good try
Now he knows this town well enough
to know it’s time to say good-bye
Every day he wakes and says a prayer
to God, the Father
Even though he’s pretty damn sure
it ain’t worth the bother
Because the lights won’t shine in the city
for Ramón
No, the lights don’t shine in the city
for Ramón

Birds fly south (también en sueños Ramón)
Birds fly south (y en sus sueños el va)
Birds fly south (y de verdad)
and so does Ramón
