I worked in a Gang Unit in the 90s. This reminds me of cruising at the beginning of shift before the sun went down. After the sun went down shit got crazy.
Awesome opening credits! Los Lobos ,East L.A and Haskell Wexler's photography. Wow!....Pacman n Hodges cruising downtown LA/ Skid Row LOL!!! Dennis Hopper's second best movie ever!
I had no idea loney boys sang this song. This scene takes me back memory lane to my time acting a fool in El Sereno back in the 80's. RIP tonito, little angel, so young carnalitos.
Lyrics A wise man was telling stories to me About the places he had been to and the things that he had seen A quiet voice is singing something to me An age old song 'bout the home of the brave in this land here of the free One time one night in America A lady dressed in white with the man she loves Standing along the side of their pick up truck A shot rang out in the night Just when everything seemed right Another headline written down in America The guy that lived next door in three o five Took the kids to the park and disappeared 'bout half past nine Who will ever know how much she loved them so That dark night alone in America A quiet voice is singing something to me An age old song 'bout the brave in this land here of the free One time one night in America Four small boys playing ball in the parking lot A preacher, a teacher, and the other became a cop A car skidded into the rain Making the last little one a saint One more light goes out in America A young girl tosses a coin in the wishing well She hopes for a heaven while for her there's just this hell She gave away her life to become somebody's wife Another wish unanswered in America People having so much faith Die too soon while all the rest come late We write a song that no one sings On a cold black stone where a lasting peace will finally bring The sunlight plays upon my window pane I wake up to a world that's still the same My father said to be strong That a good man could never do wrong In a dream I had last night in America A wise man was telling stories to me About the places he had been to and the things that he had seen A quiet voice is singing something to me An age old song 'bout the home of the brave in this land here of the free One time one night in America One time one night in America One time one night in America Songwriters: David Kent Hidalgo / Louis Frausto Perez

Lyrics
A wise man was telling stories to me
About the places he had been to and the things that he had seen
A quiet voice is singing something to me
An age old song 'bout the home of the brave in this land here of the free
One time one night in America
A lady dressed in white with the man she loves
Standing along the side of their pick up truck
A shot rang out in the night
Just when everything seemed right
Another headline written down in America
The guy that lived next door in three o five
Took the kids to the park and disappeared 'bout half past nine
Who will ever know how much she loved them so
That dark night alone in America
A quiet voice is singing something to me
An age old song 'bout the brave in this land here of the free
One time one night in America
Four small boys playing ball in the parking lot
A preacher, a teacher, and the other became a cop
A car skidded into the rain
Making the last little one a saint
One more light goes out in America
A young girl tosses a coin in the wishing well
She hopes for a heaven while for her there's just this hell
She gave away her life to become somebody's wife
Another wish unanswered in America
People having so much faith
Die too soon while all the rest come late
We write a song that no one sings
On a cold black stone where a lasting peace will finally bring
The sunlight plays upon my window pane
I wake up to a world that's still the same
My father said to be strong
That a good man could never do wrong
In a dream I had last night in America
A wise man was telling stories to me
About the places he had been to and the things that he had seen
A quiet voice is singing something to me
An age old song 'bout the home of the brave in this land here of the free
One time one night in America
One time one night in America
One time one night in America
Songwriters: David Kent Hidalgo / Louis Frausto Perez
I never realized how somewhat dark the lyrics were, very powerful.
