Line 3:
''He's never gonna understand
''Better find a place to hide
''On the other side of the Rio Grande"''
|'''Johnny Rodriguez''', "Run For The Border"}}
A character desires to escape something in his home country, and resolves to flee or relocate to a neighboring one.
Line 59 ⟶ 60:
=== Music ===
* Burl Ives song ''"One Hour Ahead of the Posse".'' A murderer tries to reach the Rio Grande river and cross into Mexico.
* Similarly, Christopher Cross's [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur8ftRFb2Ac "Run Like the Wind"] is also about a murderer making a run for the Mexican border.
* Inverted in the Johnny Rodriguez song "Run For The Border," where the narrator is running for the border to get the hell ''out'' of Mexico so he can get away from the irate knife wielding husband of a woman that he spent the night with.
* Subverted in Warren Zevon's "Lawyers, Guns and Money" - he makes it to Honduras, but the trouble has followed him. "Send lawyers, guns, and money/The shit has hit the fan."
