Bound together by blood and a 7-minute journey, our boys find themselves on the run to Mexico, still finding time to send a note home to mom.

Written summer 2016, the original inspiration for this song was simply wanting to write a “hey ma” lyric. From there I found myself in a shoot-out at 5:25.

Black Sheep Sons

non-flash play link: http://bit.ly/2dzkS0z

full of stories we can tell no one

hey ma, we gotta go
on down to Mexico,
gotta see our man
we’ll call you when we can

the sun’s low in the sky
wipe those tears from your eyes
full of futures on the run
for your black sheep sons

backpacks in the sand
we’ll come back rich and tan,
full of stories we can tell no one
we’ll be your quiet black sheep sons

stars mapped in the sky
this road’s not asking why
we did the things we done
she just rides with your black sheep sons

the moon’s lower than the sky
he wipes the sand from both his eyes
and lights our futures on the run
he shines for your black sheep sons

have no worries, ma we’re alright
Mexico says hello tonight,
we’ll watch your Insta on the run
love your black sheep sons
Love, your black sheep sons

hey ma, we gotta go
on down to Mexico …
