Cervezas

Do you drink cervezas

Would you crack one with me?

And I could tell you 'bout the man who built this city

Left his life in Guanajuato

Chased out by desperados

Barely made it west of the Mississippi

Hands in the dirt

Work em to the bone

Built a house in a town

That he'll never call home

25 hours can't get no sleep

25 years and he still can't leave

This nightmare they said it was a dream

This nightmare

That's how we built this city

So we

Look away don't think too hard

Crack another bottle let's drink like stars and

Talk about who really built this city

So we look away don't stare too hard

It ain't our fault we were dealt this card

But let's talk about who really built this city

Hearts were made for racing

Dreams were made for chasing

But sometimes he wished he never had the legs

So one day he could sleep in

Like rich kids on the weekend

And make light of all this existential dread

Woke up as he fell asleep

Surrounded by wolves

Let his children count their sheep

'Cause that's worth more than gold

Might never have a fancy car (he don't need that)

A designer belt and watch (nobody really need that)

But always shows up on time (on time)

With blood in his socks

Swinging like a hammer into rock

That's the man who built this city

Oh this city

Yeah oh this city

This city

Oh that's the man who built this city

That's the man who

That's the man who

That's the man who built this city
