O Mexico

(written by Michael G. Joyce, Irene Kelley)



I'm catchin' this south bound train

I've had enough of the pouring rain

Chilled to the bone, I have to go

Love was never a friend of mine

The only friend that I have is time

It's down the track, ain't lookin' back

Mexico, O Mexico

I long to see your border town

Mexico, O Mexico

Adios mi corazon

The cars are clickin' the night along

But all I hear is a heartbreak song

Haunting me, relentlessly

Come the morning and I will stand

On the banks of the Rio Grande

A brand new day, wash those tears away

There's nothin' like the feel

Of the steel against the steel

And you can't forget the crying of the rail

There's nothin' like the sight

Of a moonlit desert night

To heal a broken heart that was so frail
