Se Les Pelo El Cabezon
Beto Quintanilla
The Big-Headed One Got Away
Even to the federal prison
They take him by the backroads
Just because they caught him
With about nine hundred kilos
Of high-quality chili
That belonged to the top dogs.
Not caring at all about that
That's how we heard it
He told the feds
Don't waste your time with me
It'll take longer to take me
Than to get out of prison.
The feds laughed
At that strong statement
And how do you plan to escape
Listen well, big-headed one
Because from this prison
You'll only leave for the cemetery.
What I have planned
No way I'll tell you
No way I'll show you
What hangs from a brave man
You'll see in the news
When I'm back with my people.
Local patrols
Take him out to testify
Manuel was very smiling
He knew what was going to happen
When he saw his people
Getting out of two Suburbans.
Blocking the patrols
They disarm the police
And Manuel got off
Joining his people
According to the press
We found out the next day.
The big-headed one got away
If that's what the song is called
Several years have passed
We don't know his fate
It's unknown if he's dead
Or if he returned to the right path.
