Sally was a cop, but now she's a soldier
Another foot deep
Another day older
I used to be on top
Now I just roll over
I used to run hot
Now I run a little colder
Well, they're marching up the street
people hiding in their cupboards
From the crooked politicos
to the mercenary lovers
The socialites and psychopaths are
dancing with each other
Sally was a cop, but now she's a soldier
Shot in the back in the ditches of Tecate
35 bodies lying in the highway
Children forced to dig the graves of their fathers
Sally was a cop, now she's a soldier
They're marching up the street

Rather good methinks..
I can’t not hear Eddie Money
A bit overplayed
The screaming guitar solo really makes this into something great. Well crafted song.
I love the original version by Alejandro Escovedo and digging this cover.

Green on Red - 1985 and lots of good tunes since. Love Chuck! Thanks RP.
