J.J. Cale - Tijuana lyrics

Just below San Diego Tijuana, land of broken dreams Senoritas dancing in the moonlight Flashing Spanish dark eyes to everyone, it seems They say "Hey, gringo Can you take us across the border Just tell them I'm your daughter Of a local." Down the backstreets, through the alleys All the young men stand with pride They guard the palace to the kingdom Called Tijuana, their heritage they decide They say "Hey, gringo Can you take us across the border We'll work for just a quarter On the other side"
