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...)
