The Trickster
I left Corpus because I didn't pay the rent;
In San Antonio, I came across another account...
There in the valley, the car company were looking for me;
They were fuming, because they never found me...
At midnight, I started for Laredo,
But I couldn't even find a hideout there...
In Austin, I found out that my parents were looking for me;
It had been some time since I'd even sent them five bucks...
That's why now, they call me "tracalera";
All over Texas, they don't let me rest...
Let's see if in Houston, I can make some money,
And even if I don't sleep, I will come to pay them...
There in Dallas, I came across a little girlfriend;
"Come to Waco, I have a little change!"
But the law[man] that was watching her,
The next day, caught her smuggling...
There in Victoria, the police stopped me
For various [forged] checks and a fine I owed...
I called out to the country - I want to talk to my sister;
She's asleep, and my niece answers...
That's why now, they call me "tracalera";
All over Texas, they don't let me rest...
Let's see if in Houston, I can make some money,
And even if I don't sleep, I will come to pay them...

About translator
"Tracalera" doesn't directly translate well to English. I translated as "trickster" in the title just to translate it, but left it bare in the body of the song.
