arabs brother elementary freak human indians iranians mexicans people stood
We stood out. Me and my brother JoJo were the only two Mexicans in our whole school, and so was my little brother, in elementary school. We would have people come up to us and say, 'What are you?' and we would say, 'Well, what are you? We're just human like you!' They would just freak out. They thought we were Indians or Arabs or Iranians or something.
band family home months next road saw time
We're really a family before we are a band. Being a band and all, that's just a plus, we're that close. We'll be on the road for months at a time and then we'll be home and we'll see each other the next day and it's like we never saw each other.

We used to be invited on stage with our father's band to sing that song when we were children,
across bar few grab homework kids morning playing school sleep street until
We were kids still in school and playing 24 hours. We would get off school and then go do our homework in the bar right across the street and then play there until one or two in the morning and then grab a few hours' sleep before we went to school. Then the same thing repeated, man, over and over.
deal ears gather good hearts hits kinds liked lonely meaning music played sounds true
They played all kinds of stuff, and we liked that. With us, anything that hits our ears and our hearts and sounds good is an influence, new or old. Music we gather true meaning from is that old school. It's an oldies-rule-forever kind of deal with us Lonely Boys.

Thats why it feels so good right now to receive these blessings that weve been blessed with, which is the people really digging the music, dude, because thats what its about for us. Its not about trying to, not even make records or make money or be stars or anything like. We just want to play music and give it to the world. You give, you shall receive.

We try to give a taste of all different flavors. Because when you have a burrito, you don't want just meat -- you want onions and peppers too!

Our music isn't black or white or brown. It comes from the heart, which beats red.
everybody knowing matches nobody school seen singles top upside watched
Being a freshman, her upside is tremendous. We watched the other singles matches today. With us being a brand-new school and nobody knowing her or our school, she wasn't able to get a seed. Having seen everybody else play, she would have been in the top three.
course dad doors followed himself knew living meant missing music opened people seeing start though willie
He opened the doors for people to really start seeing us. People want to see what Willie's digging. I never really, like, followed him that much, though being from here, of course I knew of him. I knew what he meant to music and to my dad. Dad always called himself a missing outlaw, so that's what Willie represented. We're actually living dad's dream. It is pretty amazing.
god la name
In Jesus's name we pray, In God we trust, and in La Familia we believe.
call cause check month months songs sudden tough wanna year
All of a sudden I'll get a call from JoJo, "Hey man, check this out!" Or you know, like a month later, two months later, sometimes a year later. It's pretty tough when those songs don't wanna come out. Cause when you want them to, they won't and when you don't want them to, they will. So it's better to not want to write a song cause they'll just come, you know?
children texas insult
Never spit in front of women and children, and never insult the great state of Texas.

Our father taught us how to play. He's also our biggest inspiration and he opened our ears to a lot of older music, like Richie Valens, Chuck Berry, Willie Nelson, and Fats Domino.
