The Wedding Song

1986 found me in Lubbock
Hub city of the Lone Star state
And it was at the airport lounge that I first kissed her
How the hell was I to know my fate
She was just nineteen and wild, she had a sexy smile
And I was twenty-three going on sixteen
And the good times we shared together, Lord knows I've known no better
But I guess you'd a had to met her to know just what I mean
Lubbock couldn't hold the likes of our love
So we took off one night in May
We set our sights a just little south of El Paso
Made Mexico by the break of day
We won some money at the racetrack
And she smiled as she laid back
In the back seat of that taxi on the road to chase our dreams
Well, the town of Seragosa is a poor one
And a dollar can buy most anything
Well, I slipped that judge a wrinkled pair of twenties
In exchange for vows and a wedding ring
And without any hesitation she signed that wedding declaration
And you don't have to speak Spanish, boys, to know just what that means
1986 is long forgotten,
She and I split up and moved apart
But the memories that we shared down in old Mexico
Will always be alive in my heart
