|
[Verse 1] |
|
Born down in El Paso where the tumbleweeds blow |
|
To the middleweight champ of all of Mexico |
|
Dad fought many bloody battles and raised four sons |
|
Chavo was the oldest one |
|
Old man Gory could pop like a live grenade |
|
Raised his boys in the way of the trade |
|
Hector and Mando, young Eddie G |
|
Chavo meant the most to me |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Look high |
|
It's my last hope |
|
Chavo Guerrero |
|
Coming off the top rope |
|
[Verse 2] |
|
He came from Texas seeking fortune and fame |
|
Rose pretty quickly to the top of his game |
|
Defender of the downtrodden, king of the hill |
|
Tag-team champion with Al Madril |
|
Before a black and white TV in the middle of the night |
|
I'm lying on the floor, I'm bathed in blue light |
|
With the telecast in Spanish, I can understand some |
|
And I need justice in my life, here it comes |
|
[Chorus] |
|
[Bridge] |
|
Red Shoes Dugan |
|
Holding his arm high all out of breath |
|
I hated all of Chavo's enemies |
|
I would pray nightly for their death |
|
Descending like fire |
|
On the people who deserved it most |
|
Always completely unknown |
|
Outside of Texas and the West Coast |
|
[Verse 3] |
|
He was my hero back when I was a kid |
|
You let me down but Chavo never once did |
|
You called him names to try to get beneath my skin |
|
Now your ashes are scattered on the wind |
|
I heard his son got famous, he went nationwide |
|
Coast-to-coast with his dad by his side |
|
I don't know if that's true but I've been told |
|
It's real sweet to grow old |
|
[Chorus] |
