Once I spent my time playing tough guy scenes
but I was living in a world of childish dreams
Someday these childish dreams must end
to become a man and grow up to dream again.
Now I believe in the end
that two hearts are better than one
that two hearts girl get the job done
I hear the lead singer shoutin' out girl
I wanna be a slave to the beat
And I want something that'll break my chains
Something to break my heart
Something to shake my brains
There's a rocker's special on tonight
So meet me on down
'Neath the neon lights
I wanna be where the bands are...
Your sweet memory comes on the evenin' wind
I sleep and dream of holding you in my arms again
The lights of Brownsville, across the river shine
A shout rings out and into the silty red river I dive
I long, my darling, for your kiss, for your sweet love I give God thanks
A touch of your loving fingertips
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros
Meet me on the Matamoros banks
Now Cat knows his Kitty's been untrue
and that she left him for a city dude
But she's so soft, she's so blue,
when he looks into her eyes
he just sits back and sighs
Ooh, what can I do, ooh, what can I do?
Now every man has the right to live
The right to a chance, to give what he has to give
The right to fight for the things he believes
For the things that come to him in dreams
I don't believe in magic
but for you I will.
Still at the end of every hard earned day
people find some reason to believe.
