A. Lee Edwards - Mexico Lyrics

MEXICO
(A. EDWARDS)
MET A GIRL IN RENO
SHE WAS ONE LIKE I AIN'T SEEN-O
AND I KNEW FROM THE MOMENT I LOOKED
INTO HER EYES THAT I WAS GONE
WE HEADED OUT TO VEGAS
IN MY TRUCK WITH WHICH TO TAKE US
AND I KNEW DEEP IN MY HEART IT WOULD'NT BE LONG
SHE FOUND ANOTHER MAN AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT SHE EVER SAW IN HIM AND I GUESS I'LL NEVER KNOW
I'M HEADED FOR THE TEXAS BORDER
RUNNING FROM THE LAW AND ORDER
YOU'LL FIND ME DOING FINE IN MEXICO
WELL I STOPPED IN SANTA FE
AT A ROADSIDE CAFE
TO HAVE MYSELF A COUPLE WAFFLES
AND A CUP OF COFFEE TO GO
I MET A MAN NAME LEROY
SAID WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO WITH ME BOY
CAUSE MY WIFE HAS UP AND LEFT ME ALL ALONE
HE SAID
I FOUND 'EM IN MY BED
AND I SHOT 'EM IN THE HEAD
BURIED THEM IN OLD SMITH'S BARN
UNDER A BAIL OF HAY
I'M HEADED FOR THE TEXAS BORDER
RUNNING FROM THE LAW AND ORDER
YOU'LL FIND ME DOING FINE IN MEXICO
SHE FOUND ANOTHER MAN
AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT SHE EVER SAW IN HIM
AND I GUESS I'LL NEVER KNOW
WE'RE HEADED FOR THE TEXAS BORDER
RUNNING FROM THE LAW AND ORDER
YOU'LL FIND ME DOING FINE IN MEXICO
YEAH, YOU'LL FIND US DOING FINE IN MEXICO
