South Of The Border |
There’s a town south of the border |
South of El Paso they say |
Where the nights are long and the winds are warm |
And the women they love to play |
In an old adobe tavern |
Mescal flows like water |
And Rita will dance on your table so fine |
You are bound to place your order |
I don’t have to think about it |
I don’t have to wonder |
Where I’m going to ride tonight |
I’ll be riding down the highway south of the border |
As I ride into town and the dust settles down |
And the mariachi music is playing |
I buy me a room from a guy named Luis |
It’s just up the stairs and it’s waiting |
Downstairs Rita is dancing |
Just the way her mother has taught her |
So I settle down for the show and a beer |
And wait for that mother’s daughter |
I don’t have to think about it |
I don’t have to wonder |
Where I’m going to ride tonight |
I’ll be riding |
When the morning comes and I wake up |
To the sounds of the people below |
There’s a note on my bed that is easily read |
Buenos dias and a kiss when you go |
As I ride out of town with my face to the sun |
And the dust is trailing behind |
Soon I’ll go back to this sleepy old town |
Back where I know I can find |
I don’t have to think about it |
I don’t have to wonder |
Where I’m going to ride tonight |
I’ll be riding down the highway south of the border |
