I just left San Antonio heading down to the town of Laredo
Got my mind on the border of Mexico
Gonna stop for a tank off to go at a place called a Purple Sombrero
Got my mind on the border of Mexico
Drinking tequila with young senoritas
And listening to the mariaches play pretty songs
The lips of a woman will kiss me good mornin'
The same lips that promised to love me till dawn
I can tell you if you don't know what a peso can do for a gringo
Got my mind on the border of Mexico
[ ac.guitar ]
Drinking tequila with young senoritas...
[ ac.guitar ]
Got my mind on the border of Mexico
