Alejandro Escovedo's family tree includes former Santana percussionist Pete Escovedo and Pete's daughter, Sheila E (also Prince's former drummer and later a pop star). He began his music career with the Nuns, a mid-'70s punk band based in San Francisco. He co-founded the pioneering cowpunk band Rank and File in 1979, which moved to Austin, Texas, in 1981 after a stint in New York City. The band released Sundown on Slash Records in 1982, but shortly after, Escovedo left to form the True Believers with brother Javier. The band recorded two albums for EMI and toured the country, often as an opening act for Los Lobos.

Sometimes Lyrics

Alejandro Escovedo

It's been a wild ride and I can't sleep
You want to step inside for, for just a peek
You say you've paid your price
Well I've paid mine
And it's not pretty here, once you've stepped inside
Sometimes, Sometimes
Inside, Inside
Sometimes it hurts, sometimes inside
I heard Spyboy crying from across the trees
He said don't give 'em much
When you're stretched out across the breeze
It's like a circus here step up and take your shot
But there's no winners here
When you're stretched across the breeze
It's been a scary ride and I need some sleep
You want to peek inside, well just take a peek
I wish you were here, sleep by my side
But there's no winners here
When you're stretched across the trees
