Lights along the border Two more lonely hours and I can go Across the Rio Grande and Laredo Cause Maria Teresa Marina Martinez Is waitin' in Old Mexico She's a rich Señor's daughter And he sure ain't gonna like it when he knows But I damn sure fight him and half of Texas 'Cause Maria Teresa Marina Martinez Is waitin' in Old Mexico High Sierra Where evening breeze blows the tumbleweeds along My Sombrero And there's million stars and a thousand guitars Always playing my song Just a wild crazy cowboy And I still don't like the way they rodeo
But I'll give up my wild oats for her sweet love 'Cause Maria Teresa Marina Martinez Is waitin' in Old Mexico High Sierra Down where evening breeze blows the tumbleweeds along My Sombrero And there's million stars and a thousand guitars Always playing my song Lights along the border Two more lonely hours and I can go 'Cross the Rio Grande and Laredo Cause Maria Teresa Marina Martinez Is waitin' in Old Mexico Maria Teresa Marina Martinez Is waitin' in Old Mexico
