lyrics

Well it’s been a week since I drove down,
down here to this border town alone.
And for a while I spent the time in my room
sittin’, starin’ at the phone.
If I’m ever gonna be a man again, I’ve got to take a stand
And try to get your memory off my mind.
That’s why you’ll find me here tonight. Drinkin’ by the neon light.
In the arms of any dark haired beauty I can find.

CHORUS:
Where’s my bottle of Mezcal?
And that pretty little Mexican gal.
I want to drink to love that’s true.
Not the kind I found with you.
We’ll sing of how our love went wrong.
I’ll have the mariachis play another song.
They’ll strum a melancholy tune.
In this tiny Tijuana saloon.

I’ll escape inside a bottle
and the desert winds will dry the tears I cry.
And I’ll let the senoritas flirt, though I know all they tell me is a lie.
I never thought I’d make it through.
Just thinking of you made me blue.
I think I found a way to keep from thinkin’.
With a shot glass and a country song, figure it won’t take too long.
‘Bout a half an hour after I start in a drinkin’

(CHORUS)
(REPEAT CHORUS)
