about

I wrote this song in 2010 after Arizona proposed Arizona Senate Bill 1070. The Bill was signed into law in April of that year and the Federal Government ruled to uphold the bill but struck down three of the provisions as they were deemed in violation of the Supremacy Clause and the Constitution of the United States. The resulting “minor” civil unrest compelled me to highlight some perspective from the other side of the border. ~Emily Zisman

lyrics

A bottle of Bulleit
And a bowl of rice
Never drank so warm
Never bit so nice
I think of you whenever I am in this place
With a bottle of Bulleit
And a bowl of rice

The senoritas are folkloring outside
I want so much to join them
But my rhythm ain’t right
If I could only barter one song of light
For a bottle of Bulleit and a bowl of rice

We came through here just you and me
In the back of a pickup without windows to see
We held each other through the blackest pitch
They sent you back and left me naked in a ditch.

Oh God help you
If you come a-lookin’ for me
I’ll be sittin’ right here
But you will not see
I’ll be crying for you through my sightless eyes
Into my bottle of Bulleit
And my bowl of rice
Into my bottle of Bulleit
And my bowl of rice
