Lyrics The Road To Ensenada - Lyle Lovett

The Road To Ensenada

As I lay sick and broken
Viva mexico
My eyes just wont stay open
And I dream a dream of home
I dream a dream of home
Where theres coffee on the table
And kindness in your hand
Honey Ill help you when Im able
But right now Im feeling bad
Right now Im feeling bad
Listen to your heart that beats
And follow it with both your feet
And as you walk and as you breathe
You aint no friend to me You aint no friend to me The road to ensenada
Is plenty wide and fast
If you head south from tijuana
Then Ill see you at last
Ill see you at last
But my eyes they open slowly
And they look around the room
The old man he seems worried
And there aint no sign of you
There aint no sign of you
Listen to your heart that beats
And follow it with both your feet
And as you walk and as you breathe
You aint no friend of me You aint no friend of me You can offer to the righteous
The good that you have won
But down here among the unclean
Your good work just comes undone
Your good work just comes undone
The sisters at the borderline
Theyre holding out their hands
Theyre begging me for something lord
But I dont understand
I dont understand
So its adios to alvero
Tell him to stay between the lines
And if he sees that gabriella girl
Tell her Ill look her up next time
Say Ill look her up next time
Because the road to ensenada
Is plenty wide and fast
And this time through tijuana
Well it wont be my last
It wont be my last
Listen to your heart that beats
And follow it with both your feet
And as you walk and as you breathe
You aint no friend of me You aint no friend of me You aint no friend of me
