I took the train down through Mexico With my father and brother Ansel You can't know Well, you can't ever really know What you really want to know How the hell would you know?
I made a mess of myself and the trip on the whole My father's good patience with me, why I don't know You can't know You can't ever really know That's the last time I seen my brother Ansel
Troubles on the head winds Troubles on the tail winds
Me and my sister we hung on the phone Watching on the news As they looked for Ansel On top of that mountain Underneath the snow They had dogs that were sniffing I guess you'll never know
You can't know You can't ever really know What you really want to know How the hell would you know?
The last time that you ever see another soul No, you never get to know No, you don't know
