Ballad of Old Mexico Lyrics by Paul Eason
Paul Eason Lyrics
I head out for old Mexico, because I aināt got no where else to go
Iām beat up and broke down and tired of life, but I keep on ridinā in spite of my strife
In a little cantina down by Monterrey vaqueros drink and mariachis play
And tequila keeps coming to keep my old memories down
I see her lookinā over my way, as we dance together she tells me her name
āEsperanzaā she whispers and itās then that I know sheās stolen my heart with no intent to let go
Iām feelinā better than I have in a while but thereās still pain down beneath this smile
And tequila keeps cominā to keep my old memories down
The days go by and our love is well, but thereās a passion that burns in her eyes I can tell
She says she must go away for a while, so off to the little cantina I ride
I aināt been there long when I hear from a friend, heās seen Esperanza outside with a man
And tequila keeps cominā to keep me from hurtinā again
I walk outside and there they both stand, the stranger turns āround to see my gun in my hand
He ducks away but my bullet has gone straight for Esperanza, I can only look on
Her eyes lock with mine as I rush to her side, I fall to my knees on the street and I cry
And tequila keeps cominā to keep all this pain off my mind
Been ridinā for days but I canāt stop now, Federales behind me will catch me somehow
Fearās taken over, I only ride on to think of the days before my hope was gone
I only ride on to think of the days before my hope was gone
And tequila keeps cominā to keep my old memories down
And tequila keeps cominā to keep my old memories down
[Thanks to Lauren for lyrics]
