A song about crime and getting away...

lyrics

Too Hot in L.A.

Someone made off with a lot of cash
Everybody thinks it was me.
An innocent man shouldn’t have to run
But who’re they gonna believe
The usual suspects have an alibi
So I’ve been thinking ‘bout taking some vacation time

I’m gonna head on down to Mexico
Just gotta get away
They say it’s nice in Mexico
I might be inclined to stay
Not gonna stop ‘till I get there
Not coming back, I don’t care
You’re gonna like it down in Mexico
All the senoritas say
Start a new life in Mexico
‘Cause it’s just too hot in L.A.


Got my stuff and gas in the car
Shaved my ‘stash just to change my face
Got a VISA card that I can’t use
‘Cause it’s just too easy to trace
Nobody’s watching it’s time to go
For my long vacation down in Mexico.

I’m gonna head on down to Mexico
Just gotta get away
The say it’s nice in Mexico
I might be inclined to stay
Not gonna stop ‘till I get there
Not coming back, I don’t care
You’re gonna like it down in Mexico
All the senoritas say
Start a new life in Mexico
‘Cause it’s just too hot in L.A.

Now that I’m crossing the border, I guess I can tell you I lied.
There’s an overnight package full of cash waiting for me on the other side.

Here I am in Mexico
Guess I got away
It’s sure nice here in Mexico
I think I’m gonna stay
I got the money it’s all O.K.
No one got hurt, and I got away
You’re gonna like it down in Mexico
All the senoritas say
Start a new life here in Mexico
‘Cause it’s just too hot in L.A.
‘Cause it’s just too hot in L.A.
‘Cause it’s just too hot in L.A.

about

Reuben Brock Nashville, Tennessee

I always knew I was destined to be a traveler and a collector of stories. My songs are the music I hear in my head that seems to me to have been a part of the stories all along. For the traveler, there's always the familiar, restless pull...the long road that awaits and yet flows into the past.

The first single release from the upcoming Reuben Brock DAMAGE studio album is NAIL AND HAMMER.
