[Verse 1]
Drinking cold cerveza in a boiling hot saloon
Chasing shots of tequila, just about high noon
Outside Nuevo Laredo, deep in no man's land
Become a k**er or be k**ed, face down in the Rio Grande
[Pre-Chorus]
Poverty will turn the life of any good man bad
All love and mercy ever learned
He'll soon forget what he had
[Chorus]
Guns, d**, and money under the Mexican sky
Guns, d**, and money, pick your poison or you die
Guns, d**, and money, a pistol pressed to his head
Choose silver and you're rich, you die if you choose lead
[Verse 2]
He had a suitcase full of money, plenty of ammo for his gun
The sweat rolls down his dirty face
His plans have all come undone
It's just a matter of time, no matter how he tries
He hears “¿Plata o plomo, gringo?”
The last words before he dies
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Guns, d** and money
Under the Mexican sky
Guns, d** and money
Pick your poison or you die
Guns, d** and money
A pistol pressed to his head
Choose silver and you're rich
You're gonna die if you choose lead
Guns, d** and money
Guns, d** and money
Guns, d** and money
Guns, d** and money
