Marty Robbins - Bound For Old Mexico lyrics

rate me

True, I wasn't born anywhere south of the border<br />

And I'm not a native to old Mexico<br />

But there's someone there fits my heart as though made to order<br />

And it's fittingly proper through these eyes that love her so<br />

<br />

If I could just write it off as just mere fascination<br />

Then the problems we face would die where they are and not grow<br />

But my will's not contained in the thoughts little minds now are thinking<br />

Oh, I'm on my way to old Mexico<br />

<br />

There are those who will shame us by openly showing rejection<br />

But the game must be played in accordance to how the cards fall<br />

And my life's not dependant on their kind of narrow affection<br />

For the choice between them would be no choice at all<br />

<br />

So the sound of the rails to my ears will be sweet, sweet music<br />

The longer I hear it, the shorter the time we're apart<br />

Soon I will see the span of the Old Rio Grande lay before me<br />

And the land that gave birth to the girl who now holds my heart<br />

<br />

I'll be ridin' these same rails in the not too distant future<br />

Life will be so complete for in this very seat soon I know<br />

There'll be two and not one, for love's will shall be done, good Lord willin'<br />

Oh, I'm on my way to old Mexico<br />

To old Mexico<br />

To old Mexico
