Warts and All |
|
Mexico |
|
Day before my birthday me and my cousin Dave |
|
Drove his truck down to the border |
|
And we hitchhiked the rest of the way |
|
Down through Mexico |
|
In the beginning we didn't have much luck |
|
So we took all our things up upon a bus |
|
It cost us three dollars just to get half way |
|
Down through Baja California |
|
We spent the night in a cheap hotel |
|
Fourteen dollars, didn't sleep so well |
|
And the morning came with bells on |
|
And I took to the road with my cousin |
|
Down through Mexico |
|
We hitched a ride from an old pickup |
|
And climbed in with the chickens in the back of the truck |
|
I got to Tijuana by the middle of the day |
|
Just in time to celebrate my twenty-first birthday |
|
Chorus: |
|
Well I'm a million miles away from home |
|
And I can't find a telephone |
|
My folks don't even know where I am |
|
Hell I don't even know where I am |
|
Well I'm a million miles away from home |
|
And I can't find a telephone |
|
My folks don't even know where I am |
|
Hell I don't even know where I am |
|
We got something to eat and then we took to the bars |
|
A bottle of tequila and two fat cigars |
|
We painted the town some sort of red |
|
At some point a train drove through my head |
|
Down in Mexico |
|
Well at Five-AM we're still on our feet |
|
A cop pulls over to the side of the street |
|
He said something to me I couldn't understand |
|
And threw me in the wagon, took the bottle from my hand |
|
Well I'm still in the wagon at Six-AM |
|
And I don't have a clue where I am |
|
I don't speak Spanish all that well |
|
I'm out of cash, and I'm drunk as hell |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Day after my birthday |
|
Me and my cousin Dave |
|
Drove his truck home from the border |
|
Through California |
|
Home from Mexico |
