Down In Nogales Lyrics


I heard a Spanish melody drifting along Nogales street
In the shadows the accordion man, now
Danced on the keys with his long brown hands
Playin' a song just for you and me
Down in NogalesI put a dollar in his empty hat
Then we sat on a wall, scared off an old stray cat
Together we saw the clouds roll in from the Gulf of Mexico
The wind was singing and the sky was turning black
Down in NogalesAnd in your hand, you were holding a flower you found
On the side of the road, you were twirling it 'round and around
And I, I was dreaming of you, seeing you smiling and laughing
And then the rain came downDown in Nogales, the rain fell on the bright umbrellas
And the tombstones and the statues near the graveyard walls
Where the weeds grow and the raven callsAnd the tall girl talking
In a long blue dress on her cell phone
Down in NogalesAnd in your hand, you were holding a flower you found
On the side of the road, you were twirling it round and around
And I, I was dreaming of youThe way I remember your hair in the wind

Seeing you smiling and laughing
And then the rain came down, the rain came down
Oh, the rain came down again

Though best known for his acting career, Costner is no stranger to the art of making music and songwriting. The band's history goes back some 20 years when Kevin first met band mate John Coinman in Los Angeles during an acting workshop. The two began playing and writing music together and soon after started a band called "Roving Boy." As Kevin's star began to rise, he was unable to devote much time to the band. However, he and some of the band members continued behind-the-scenes playing, writing, and recording anytime they could throughout the years.

A few years back the itch became stronger for Costner to start performing on a more regular basis. Costner recalls a performance back in August 2005 and remarks, "I remember looking out into the crowd, thinking `this just feels right'." And with that, his passion continued to grow with the end product of that passion being the debut album, Untold Truths.

Radio programmer, Scott Lindy was one of the first people to hear the new album and had this to say, "I know what you're thinking about when you hear Kevin's gonna put out an album of country music. I thought it too. But then I heard it, and I got it. He's not chasing fame here (do you really think he needs to?), he's following a passion. I couldn't keep this music off of the air."

The album is comprised of 12 original tracks all written or co-written by Kevin Costner & Modern West (Modern West is John Coinman, Blair Forward, Teddy Morgan, Larry Cobb and Park Chisolm). A 4-song sampler was shipped to Country radio October 1 and included tracks "Long Hot Night", "Hey Man What About You", "90 Miles An Hour" and "Superman 14." The band will tour later this year and into early 2009 in support of the release. Read more on Last.fm.
