Mexiquita
By JamesLow
Walking into town on Sunday Morning
saw your daddy sleeping naked in the yard
Saturday I'd seen him in a Mexiquita bar
liquor in his eyes and dust around his heart
I climbed through the window
so my momma wouldn't see
That I was all dressed up
and you were waiting there for me
Cause even from her bed
she seems to know just where I been.
So I came back to see you
before you take another man.
Mexiquita don't you know you own me
Just like you owned my daddy come before
Your dust will fill my mouth
if I go north or I go south
Or if I'm killing time at the bar
I was born in sickness a fever in my brain
My Momma was told I'd never see the driving rain.
But see that rain I did lord and it comes down mighty hard.
And now I've grown to see you wrap yourself around my heart
Mexiquita don't you know you own me
Just like you owned my daddy come before
Your dust will fill my mouth if I go north or I go south
Or if I'm killing time at the bar
