Won't you come along with me
To a land I know
Just take Route 90
Down to Mexico
Fly over California
This land we love
Everything looks tiny
From so high above
Into Arizona
We'll float along
We'll cross the desert
To old Tucson
Then over the state line
To New Mexico
On our wooly bully
Yippee ay ay yo
We'll ride into Texas
The biggest state I know
See the cattle lolling
On the range below
To the gulf of Mexico
We're gonna go
Where the little shrimp boats
Look like toys below
Where the Rio Grande flows
To where I was born
Down below the border
One Christmas morn
Aren't you glad you came with me
So here we go
Flying over the border
To old Mexico

Los Lobos è un gruppo musicale chicano messicano-statunitense formatosi a Los Angeles nel 1973. Il loro sound, profondamente radicato nella musica rock, incorpora influenze di country, folk, R and B e blues. La band ha raggiunto la fama internazionale grazie al rifacimento de "La Bamba", colonna sonora dell'omonimo film del 1987 dedicato a Ritchie Valens, cantante scomparso prematuramente. Los Lobos è composta da David Hidalgo (voce, chitarra), Louie Pérez (chitarra, voce), Cesar Rosas (basso, voce), Conrad Lozano (accordéon, tastiere) e Steve Berlin (saxofono, percussioni). Nel corso della loro lunga carriera, hanno collaborato con artisti di diverse generazioni, come Jackson Browne, The Rolling Stones e Elvis Costello. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "La Bamba", "Will the Wolf Survive?" e "Kiko and the Lavender Moon".
