lyrics

Rudy got caught in the barbed wire again
He was running from the man with a bottle of gin
They took back the bottle but left him on the hook
So he could think about all the things he done took
Rudy got caught again

He'd been flirting with the law since the day he turned ten
About the same time his pappy got sent to the pen
His days turned into nights and his nights turned into days
Might take an act of God to change his wicked ways

In his dreams he was a different man
Had a home, some kids, and a wife
But that path was never meant to be
A life of crime was his only life

Now he's serving five to ten in the federal pen
He was in the right place but the wrong time again
He swears he didn't know after all of this time
His buddies in the bank were committing a crime

Rudy got caught in the barbed wire again
He was running from the man with a bottle of gin
They took back the bottle but left him on the hook
So he could think about all the things he done took
Rudy got caught again

Rudy got caught in the crossfire
Rudy stumbled over the tripwire
Rudy thought he was a high flyer
Rudy got caught again
Rudy got caught again

about

The Carnivaleros Tucson, Arizona

My songs contain elements of blues, tango, zydeco, cajun, country, rock, and yes, polka (of course!). I see my songs as mini- movies, novellas put to music. If you are one of Those About To Rock or a firm traditionalist, my music is not for you. “A guaranteed party starter that hails from Tucson but extends its sonic tendrils to New Orleans and Beyond.” – Fred Mills, Blurt Online, 2018 ... more
