I woke up to a bright summer morning With the Mexican law on my trail I'd been running for four days and nights Shot a man who worked at the rail At the rail And I know I can't leave you Mexico, I just can't say goodbye And I know I can't leave you Mexico, I just can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye They want to take me back for the trial Let by the point of a gun Gotta hang for k**ing that man But it was a fair show-down in the sun in the sun And I know I can't leave you Mexico, I just can't say goodbye And I know I can't leave you Mexico, I just can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye And I know I can't leave you Mexico, I just can't say goodbye And I know I can't leave you Mexico, I just can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye Mexico, I just can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye I can't say goodbye
