lyrics

Mexico

Time is the keeper, and the water's getting low
I'm running on tequila, from that bottle on the floor,
I'll sit and watch the sunset, there's a long way to go,
All the sorrows of life, I'm gonna drown them tonight.
An 87 Chevy that ain't fit for the road,
The pride of my possessions, that don't lighten my load,
It ain't about the money, there ain't none to behold,
Just the wind and the night and those haunting headlights.

Mexico, it keeps burning inside,
Mexico, it's a fear I can't hide,
Mexico, 'cause I've been living a lie,
All the sorrows of life, I'm gonna drown them tonight.

I get up in the morning, and it's a price I gotta pay,
I'm living on the back roads of a life gone astray,
I thought that I could beat it by just slipping away,
But with the passing of time, there.s still a lot on my mind.

Mexico, it keeps burning inside,
Mexico, it's a fear I can't hide,
Mexico, 'cause I've been living a lie,
All the sorrows of life, I'm gonna drown them tonight.

I try not to think about it, I can't face the fear,
It's been growing inside of me, and those voices I hear,
I just hope for the life of me that somehow I'll forget,
But every time I close my eyes, I see her lying there again.

The restless nights are with me, from dusk till the dawn,
A restless mind keeps talking, so I'll be trusting no one,
A crime has been committed, and I have tried to move on,
I thought that time sets you free, but not this guilt inside of me.

Mexico, it keeps burning inside,
Mexico, it's a fear I can't hide,
Mexico, 'cause I've been living a lie,
All the sorrows of life, I'm gonna drown them tonight.
