Mexico - moe.

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

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

Day after my birthday

Me and my cousin Dave

Drove his truck home from the border

Through California

Home from Mexico
