![]() Good Morning Aztlan (2002) [ larger cover art ] |
There's a tattoo heart
With an arrow through the middle
Of a name that looks like Joe
And a young girl's looking
At her makeup in the mirror
Puts a little gold ring on her toe
I gotta say one, two, three more things before I go on
There's a sharp dressed man
Playing something on a fiddle
In the backyard right next door
And everybody's mother
Is cooking something in the kitchen
Got dishes stacked ceiling to floor
I gotta say one, two, three more things before I go on
You can't run and try to hide away
Here it comes, here comes another day
A red rooster crows
A little Mexican tune
On the chain link fence by the gate
Somebody's daddy's out there
Honkin' on the horn
Hurry up, we're gonna make him late
I gotta say one, two, three more things before I go on
You can't run and try to hide away
Here it comes, here comes another day
If you're long down that highway
No matter where you are
You're never really far
Good morning Aztlán
There's a big fat heart
With an arrow through the middle
Of this place that I call home
And when I get lost
And don't even got a nickel
There's a piece of dirt I call my own
I gotta say one, two, three more things before I go on
You can't run and try to hide away
Here it comes, here comes another day
You can't run to try to hide away
Here it comes, here comes another day
Where you are, never really far away
Good morning Aztlán

| madsci61 (West Chester, PA) | Posted: Apr 25, 2013 - 08:22 Intelligent rock and roll! There are multiple layers to their sound. This band has been around a long time and they are still awesome! |

Yuck. 40 hours a week on RP — at, what, 12-15 songs an hour — and this is the ONLY song you dislike? Damn, quite baffling how you can be so indulgent or judicious on ~400 pieces of music (accounting for repeats) and it's just this one that elicts a 'yuck.' This is hyperbolic, or you have an unusually high tolerance for middle-of-the-roadness or good-but-not-exceptional that the fine rip rockin' Good Morning Aztlan cannot escape. |
| sajitjacob (Christchurch NZ) | Posted: Apr 08, 2013 - 16:23 This reminds me of a song on the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack. Can't think which one... it was such a long time ago... |
| expatlar (Michoacan, Mexico) | Posted: Mar 12, 2013 - 22:13 Still, after all these years, just about my favorite band. They can play anything. |
| Shmelo | Posted: Mar 08, 2013 - 04:45 I listen to RP approx 8 hours a day 5 days a week and this is the only song I actively dislike. Yuck. |

| Middleton (along for the ride) | Posted: Feb 04, 2013 - 21:00 Was ready to call it a night and crash. Now I feel like dancing. Damn you, RP. |

| BowTieDad (Stockholm, Sweden) | Posted: Dec 04, 2012 - 04:03 I love LL but I think it's time to honor Frank Z now on his birthday |
| joelbb | Posted: Oct 19, 2012 - 00:59 I like this cut - and Los Lobos - better with every new hearing. It does rock waay good. |
| DeeCee1109 (People's Republic of A2) | Posted: Oct 02, 2012 - 10:04 Saw these guys live a few years ago. They kicked serious ass! |

| ReddFlagg (North Texas) | Posted: Jun 26, 2012 - 14:53 There's so much to love about this rocker. My fave may be that gunshot snare drum throughout. Song just energizes me. |

| TerryS (Another SW) | Posted: May 25, 2012 - 18:11 Now this is going onto my ipod for a ride down to California next week. Love the dirty guitar riffs. LL do not disappoint. |
| That_SOB (In at least 2 places at once) | Posted: Apr 27, 2012 - 09:57 It's Friday and I'm gunna just keep dancin right out the door ...and into the night. |
| deepwoodskev (In a town west of Chicago) | Posted: Apr 27, 2012 - 09:54 First song I ever bought off iTunes was this, thanks to RP. |
| RickyBobby (Oxford Mills, Ontario - We have a Wal-Mart you know) | Posted: Apr 16, 2012 - 12:24 Oh yeah! Love it! |
| aelfheld | Posted: Apr 16, 2012 - 12:24 Peter Rowan to Los Lobos. From the ridiculous to the sublime. |
| MaryAndrea (Vada (Li) Italy) | Posted: Apr 12, 2012 - 10:42 I like it!!! Great energy and a hummer for percussions! |
| whtahtefcuk (Flagstaff, AZ, USA) | Posted: Apr 12, 2012 - 10:40 Rockn'! This song goes from a 10 to a 10 and looking for the 11. |
| annieb63 (Boston) | Posted: Mar 31, 2012 - 08:18 Great song to accompany Saturday morning cleaning! |
| idiot_wind | Posted: Mar 23, 2012 - 07:30 This is one of the best rockers by one helluva rock n roll band. It's too bad they don't tour much in the midwest. This is midwest rock n roll...even though Aztlan is reference to old Mexico. |
| lily34 (lexvegas) | Posted: Feb 28, 2012 - 16:05 this song never fails me. it makes me think of beez, makes me dance, makes me happy, and makes me wonder where the hell my copy of this cd went! |
| icemang (Boston & DC, mostly) | Posted: Feb 28, 2012 - 16:03 I love Los Lobos but every time I hear this song it reminds me of Thin Lzzy. which isn't really a good thing, exactly. |
| thewheedle (Seattle) | Posted: Feb 20, 2012 - 14:24 I chug this song like a mug brimming with black coffee! |
| iTuner | Posted: Dec 22, 2011 - 13:23 Just love this song. |
| Ag3nt0rang3 (Canada) | Posted: Dec 07, 2011 - 11:00 Just a brilliant segue from The Cure - Jumping Someone Else's Train to this. Bill is on fire. |
