Well I packed all of my things into this blanket

To call this year to earn coyotes fill

Kiss my wife and kids goodbye choke back the quiver in my breath

And took my first steps into this corridor of death

If I?m lucky I will make it to a drain

With 500 of my brothers, I would share the strain

Of standing in this boxcar praying for rain

It?s the only the way we will quench our thirst

[Chorus:]

In these gardens of white crosses

Growing in the California sand

In these gardens of white crosses

We are the children of poverty trying to a make a stand

If we make it past the border, we will scatter

Vanish just like smoke in autumn wind

I will run until my color will not matter

Hopin? I can find some work or possibly a friend

There are others who have made it here

They will show me how to find a job and a place to lay my head

And I cannot be concerned with dreams of my children

For there are 5 others in line for my bed

[Chorus:]

In these gardens of white crosses

Growing in the California sand

In these gardens of white crosses

We are the children of poverty trying to a make a stand

I will gladly pick your peaches or clean your hotel rooms

I will do the jobs American won?t do

With cell phones to their heads and $700 dollar shoes

I will risk my life ?cause it?s all I have to lose

Let the devil in the mountains promise me a ride

Found an 18 wheeler and put all of us inside

And just outside of victory, 19 of us died

None of our bodies hit the floor

And so my wife she still wonders when I?m coming home

The riches that I promised her for leaving her alone

I said I would send her all that I could save

But I ended up in California in an unknown grave

[Chorus:]

In these gardens of white crosses growing in the California sand

In these gardens of white crosses we are the children of poverty trying to a make a stand

[repeat]

Other Edwin Mccain song Lyrics
Coming Down "Welcome back to earth my fine young lucky southern son How was your trip to outer-space it sure did look like fun You seem somewhat puzzled like you just can't readjust You're covered in the battle scars and pitted up with rust..."	Shooting Stars "We keep our love in a plain brown box We keep it tied with a simple lock We hold it close 'cause it's all we got We think it's ordinary but it's not..."
Throw It All Away "It's taken all this time to work you out And if I wasn't sure before now I'm in no doubt You're running out of things to say and I can see it in your face You're going to throw it all away..."	Turning Around "Yes all the vampires know my name But they don't treat me quite the same I've pulled the leather from my eyes I've put all the stars back in your skies..."
Couldnt Love You More "After the big parade, when all the limelight fades I'll be the one to kiss your eyes The roar fades in the air like hope from a lover's prayer The light from my heart begins to rise..."	Good Enough "When footsteps from that Sunday march faded out into the dark The melody blows in to ease the pain Two thousand years and we're still here fighting over the same old fear The muddy steps of hate can't stand this rain..."
Farewell To Tinkerbell "Hey Tink it's me Peter, I know it's been a long, long time I hope you and the lost boys are doing just as fine As that time we showed that Captain Hook and Smee a thing or two I think you know why I'm rhyming and I hope that you're not blue..."	How Can You Say That To Me "The air that you breathe it must be poisoned And you're dressed up in your best disguise And I don't want to hear what you have to say It's there in your eyes when you look away..."
