lyrics

(a diesel engine turns over)
(ándale...)

The seat's still set for longer legs
I leave it, apá, I sit up tall
Your rosary swings from the mirror's edge
It catches sun, it breaks my fall
(ay, apá)

"Clutch easy, mija," in my head
(clutch easy)
I shift the gears, I shift the dread

La troca still runs, and so do I
Still runs, still runs
You live in the high beams cutting night
La troca still runs, and so do I
(so do I...)

Your buckle's shining on my waist
Too big — I punched another hole
The rancho radio plays your taste
Puro corrido, off we roll
(échale!)

They say the grief gets lighter, sí
It doesn't — I just got strong, you see
(más fuerte)

La troca still runs, and so do I
Still runs, still runs
You live in the high beams cutting night
La troca still runs, and so do I
(¡ajúa!)

(the engine ticks as it cools)
(still runs... still runs...)
