Mexico |
| I wait on tables here |
| Ain’t quite how I planned it |
| Pay’s not that great, but I do alright in tips |
| I took the job to get me by |
| When my husband left me stranded |
| I still don’t know just where the hell he is |
| After dark, six nights a week |
| I pull this apron snug |
| Glance up at a dusty TV blaring local news |
| Then I’m everybody’s best friend |
| Dealing coffee like a drug |
| The whole place smells like fries and diesel fuel |
| Every shift is different |
| And every shift’s the same |
| Someone’s driving to the Promised Land |
| Or they’re running from the pain |
| It’s mostly long-haul truckers, runaways and thieves |
| Everybody’s got somewhere to go |
| They all stop here on their way to Mexico |
| I still think about that gal |
| Who came from Tucumcari |
| Off to find her sister that she just found out she had |
| And those young lovers on the run |
| She wasn’t old enough to marry |
| Then the cops showed up with one really pissed off dad |
| Every shift is different |
| And every shift’s the same |
| Someone’s driving to the Promised Land |
| Or they’re running from the pain |
| It’s mostly long-haul truckers, runaways and thieves |
| Everybody’s got somewhere to go |
| They all stop here on their way to Mexico |
| With each passing of a season |
| I wonder if I’m stuck |
| Or maybe I’m waitin' for a reason |
| Or a helping of good luck |
| It’s mostly long-haul truckers, runaways and me |
| Maybe I’ll head south again, who knows |
| We all stop here on our way to Mexico |
