Retired from the company in 2011 after 38.94 years and I can't complain. I am now semi retired and concentrating on my fishing, boats, music, concerts, club dates, and the organizations that I belong to. I am also committed to helping the community and doing what I can for those in need. A big thank you to Palouse Country Cowboy Poets Association, and the Western Music Association, they help me to help others. Thank you and God Bless

Story behind the song

This "corrido" talks about leaving family and friends to come north.

Lyrics

El Norte
Dejo tus ojos azules,
Dejo tus labios rosados,
Dejo el campo sereno,
?Porque me voy para siempre!

Dejo a los ni?os hambrientos,
Dejo a mis padres queridos,
Dejo a mi gran compa?ero,
?Porque me voy para siempre!

Dejo la vida segura,
Dejo mi tierra querida,
Dejo a mi Dios protector,
?Porque me voy para siempre!

Porque me voy para siempre
Como los conquistadores
Que buscaban nuevas tierras
Para forjar nuevas vidas
Entre la terra inc?gnita
De un mundo desconocido.
Yo ya me voy para siempre,

Como el soldado que marcha
Al campo enemigo y re?ido
Y deja su cuerpo tendido
En los pedregales sangrientos;
As? me voy para siempre.

Mas los recuerdos se quedan
En tu memoria candente
Como estrellas que iluminan
tus largas sendas humildes.

?Ya nunca me olvides mujer!
Que aunque no est? cerca de ti
Mi alma se une contigo
Y se unir? para siempre.

Dejo tus ojos azules,
Dejo tus labios rosados,
