I might have to swab the deck with Bullfrogs kid, Punch his front teeth out and leave. Bet you I'll get away with it? Even on National TV to. "How do you like the case of Rum I bought for you I even know where the Great White hangs chum:)"

This song always made me think of Latin American dirty war rather than US immigration.

Played this song last night at McCabes Guitar Shop in Santa Monica.  He is, without a doubt, one of the most masterful songwriters and guitarists of our time. Thank you Richard for a wonderful show.....

Thanks for your reply. It amazes me that people still want to emigrate here given all the abuses we hear about, especially after 9/11.

@DCV321 It is very typical and not just for the hispanic immigrants... my irish-born wife and I (a US citizen) fought the capricious judgements of one immigration officer for 10 years before finally winning - that fight cost over 50K, 1 house & 2 cars. We finally had justice prevail but for people without means our immigration system is messed up... you're legal one minute, the next some immigration employee who needs to make his "quota" of denials can deem you illegal with the stroke of a pen.

What a song! The imagery, the way the melody supports every turn of phrase--every one of his songs is a consummately crafted work of art.
