Lyle Lovett - Road to Ensenada lyrics

rate me

As I lay sick and broken

Viva Mexico

My eyes just won't stay open

And I dream a dream of home

I dream a dream of home

Where there's coffee on the table

And kindness in your hand

Honey I'll help you when I'm able

But right now I'm feeling bad

Right now I'm feeling bad

Listen to your heart that beats

And follow it with both your feet

And as you walk and as you breathe

You ain't no friend to me

You ain't no friend to me

The road to Ensenada

Is plenty wide and fast

If you head South from Tijuana

Then I'll see you at last

I'll see you at last

But my eyes they open slowly

And they look around the room

The old man he seems worried

And there ain't no sign of you

There ain't no sign of you

Listen to your heart that beats

And follow it with both your feet

And as you walk and as you breathe

You ain't no friend of me

You ain't no friend of me

You can offer to the righteous

The good that you have won

But down here among the unclean

Your good work just comes undone

Your good work just comes undone

The sisters at the borderline

They're holding out their hands

They're begging me for something Lord

But I don't understand

I don't understand

So it's adios to Alvero

Tell him to stay between the lines

And if he sees that Gabriella girl

Tell her I'll look her up next time

Say I'll look her up next time

Because the road to Ensenada

Is plenty wide and fast

And this time through Tijuana

Well it won't be my last

It won't be my last

Listen to your heart that beats

And follow it with both your feet

And as you walk and as you breathe

You ain't no friend of me

You ain't no friend of me

You ain't no friend of me
