I drove alone out of Boulder heading south
Three hundred dollars some water and a taco in my mouth
How far can I go
Soon I’ll know
If this truck’s gonna get me to Mexico
Dumb sad story of a beautiful girl
And losing a job is like the end of the world
All behind me now
Looking for Socorro, Las Cruces
That sad old bridge out of El Paso
Mexico Mexico
I don’t know why but I just gotta go
I’ve got to get away
Erase these mistakes
Pay to play
Give myself a chance of living
One more day
I’ll trade my truck for a room
On the south side of town
And a ticket for the Chihuahua train al Pacifico
I’ll get around
Here I come gotta get out go
Live or die in Mexico
I don’t know
Will it be better there if I go
I’m relying on luck
Trusting to hope
Better than dying and staying
Yeah, nope
People cry What will you do
As though it’s any better here
And I tell you its never been any more clear
That I’ve gotta go
I’ll see you there
Or more likely I’ll not be seeing you anywhere
But in Mexico
