E A
Here comes another song about Mexico
C#m
I just can't help myself
B
I lost my old lady
Got my lures, got my bobbers, now I'm gonna go
E
Got off in the wrong direction
A
Found a hooker and lost my erection
C#m B
So I had to lie in the letter to the boys back home

A
Well the good guys and the bad guys
E B
Well they never work past noon around here
A F#m
They sit side to side in cantinas, talk to senoritas
E
And drink warm beer
