Setting outside a cantina down in Juarez
Got plenty of time on my hands
Nursing a long glass of tequila
Enjoying the songs of a mariachi band
Drifting away on the sweet sound
Watching the Mexican sun going down
Left a trail of memories strung out behind me
Too late for regrets, or what might have been
I’m fine living here cross the border
But no going home no not ever again
Drifting away on the sweet sound
Watching the Mexican sun going down
Always be a stranger in this new world
Only catch half of the words that I hear
The girl at the bar is sure nuff a beauty
Maybe sometime she’ll come over and sit near
Drifting away on the sweet sound
Watching the Mexican sun going down
