Ellis Wendt - Brownsville Lyrics

I was on my way to Mexico
Passing through a little border town
I was on my way to Mexico
When my '68 Mustang broke down

Pushed it to a cheap motel parking lot
Looking for someone to help me out
People look at me like I've done them wrong
I've got trouble on my hands, without a doubt

Nowhere to go, no buses tonight
Can't get a ride unless it's fer free
No shoes for walking, not a train in sight
The only person who I can trust is me

Way down south by a Motel 6
I'm passed out in a car that I can't fix
I'd be dead if people's looks could kill
Cause I ended up stuck in Brownsville

I'm stuck in Brownsville
With no way outta town
Stuck dead in Brownsville
Not a friendly soul around

What did I do? It wasn't a crime
We settled the score and had no regrets
Said my sorries 'n' did my time
Not good enough, they'll never forget

Nowhere to go, no buses tonight
Can't catch a ride unless it's fer free
No walking shoes, not a train in sight
The only person who I can trust is me

Way down south by a Motel 6
I'm passed out in a car that I can't fix
I'd be dead if people's looks could kill
Cause I ended up stuck in Brownsville
