Moe. - Mexico lyrics

rate me

Day before my birthday me and my cousin Dave<br />

Drove his truck down to the border<br />

And we hitchhiked the rest of the way<br />

Down through Mexico<br />

In the beginning we didn't have much luck<br />

So we took all our things up upon a bus<br />

It cost us three dollars just to get half way<br />

Down through Baja California<br />

We spent the night in a cheap hotel<br />

Fourteen dollars, didn't sleep so well<br />

And the morning came with bells on<br />

And I took to the road with my cousin<br />

Down through Mexico<br />

We hitched a ride from an old pickup<br />

And climbed in with the chickens in the back of the truck<br />

I got to Tijuana by the middle of the day<br />

Just in time to celebrate my twenty-first birthday<br />

Chorus:<br />

Well I'm a million miles away from home<br />

And I can't find a telephone<br />

My folks don't even know where I am<br />

Hell I don't even know where I am<br />

Well I'm a million miles away from home<br />

And I can't find a telephone<br />

My folks don't even know where I am<br />

Hell I don't even know where I am<br />

We got something to eat and then we took to the bars<br />

A bottle of tequila and two fat cigars<br />

We painted the town some sort of red<br />

At some point a train drove through my head<br />

Down in Mexico<br />

Well at Five-AM we're still on our feet<br />

A cop pulls over to the side of the street<br />

He said something to me I couldn't understand<br />

And threw me in the wagon, took the bottle from my hand<br />

Well I'm still in the wagon at Six-AM<br />

And I don't have a clue where I am<br />

I don't speak Spanish all that well<br />

I'm out of cash, and I'm drunk as hell<br />

(Chorus)<br />

Day after my birthday<br />

Me and my cousin Dave<br />

Drove his truck home from the border<br />

Through California<br />

Home from Mexico
