Tom Frampton - (Another Song About) Mexico lyrics

And I was rolling out of town Didn't want to leave her behind And she asked me if I'd stick around But I was running out of time So I asked her if she loved me Cuz if she did I knew I would But the timing that night I guess wasn't right She said 'stay and I know I could' So I went north up from the sunbelt But I couldn't take Canada's cold Or atleast that's what I tell myself I got stopped by the border patrol And it was the longest night I've ever lived Trying to hitch a ride back home And my heart was like a fugitive And I thought about Mexico Back home the jail is calling me I got time in state to serve Two weeks before my sentence starts I guess I got what I deserved Same dream that she's always been But lord knows that I That I can't stay And in Mexico we could begin again She's just waiting an invisible line away Went across the border at daybreak Sleeping out beneath the stars But cheap d** and last year's heartaches Are turning into prison bars And before you really know it That money you saved is gone You gotta pocket of rocks and you never detoxed And you're coming back home at dawn Me and jones was looking for something But what it was we never knew Jones was broke and strung out Trying to keep from coming unglued And as for me I was chasing shadows Trying to reclaim something true And for a night I think I found it there In canyon solitude But back home the jail is calling me I got time in state to serve Two weeks before my sentence starts I guess I got what i deserved Same dream that she's always been But lord knows that I That I can't stay and in Mexico we could begin again She'll still be waiting an invisible line away
