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
