La Lomita

from La Lomita EP by Dean Owens

/

about

Inspired by the story of a small chapel, La Lomita. One of the oldest in the US and a place of refuge, right on the border, it was in danger of being demolished to make way for Trump’s wall.

Joey took the lead on this. He knew exactly what I was aiming for and it was so much fun letting Sergio Mendoza loose with his box of tricks

lyrics

Across the river
Across the wire
Holy water
Hell fire

Chorus
Where they pray for rain
Down by the Rio Grande
The sinners and the saints
Shadows on the trail
Border ghosts
All lost souls

Where they pray for rain
Down by the Rio Grande
You can’t build a wall
Where all lost souls
Make their stand
You can’t build a wall
