此曲融合 Mississippi Hill Country 藍調風格與台灣的三弦音樂，梳理遷徙海外的華人勞動者以及「僑批」歷史，對應菲律賓、墨⻄哥、加勒比海與南美的移民歷程。
I set out running
I left everything behind
On a boat to Luzon
I couldn’t help but cry
I set out running
I left everything behind
Cry for my family
In a distant land
I send them money
Whenever I can
They work me so hard
I barely feel like a man
Landed in Mexico
Where they had blood in their eyes
In a mess of revolution
They beat me, robbed me blind
From Luzon to Mexico,
They robbed me beat me blind
Standing at the border
Hills shine like gold
Hills fulls of promise
Of a happy home
If the police don’t catch me
That’s where I’m going to make my home
This life of running
is not for me
So I let my mind drift
way across the sea
How long must I keep drifting
like a lost ship at sea?
