Chalee Tennison - Me And Mexico Lyrics

(Mark Narmore/Elisabeth Rose)

Last week you told me our love was goin' south,
So I tried to follow it, I tried to track you down.
Thought I caught wind of it outside of San Antone
But it was just a ghost so I kept right on going.

I drove an told myself you wouldn't lie to me
Tears of confusion fell and I wiped them on my sleeve.
Two tanks of gas and a floorboard full of coffee cups,
I finally hit the border and Mexico was all there was.

As I crossed that river the sun was settin'
But I started seein' the light
I walked those streets and I talked to myself
And I decided I would be all right
I drank some Tequila,
I said, who needs ya?
I don't have to do this alone...
Me and Mexico are lettin' you go

I bought a big sombrero and it made me laugh
Funny I don't think we were ever happy like that.
Country full of strangers, a thousand miles from home
The first time in a long time that I haven't felt alone.

A band of mariachis was playing to the crowd,
I couldn't understand the words but I sang right out loud.
Here is this border town, that's where your memory lays.
And when I head back home, here's where it's gonna stay.

As I crossed that river the sun was settin'
But I started seein' the light
I walked those streets and I talked to myself
And I decided I would be all right
I drank some Tequila
I said, who needs ya?
I don't have to do this alone.
Me and Mexico are lettin' you go

I drank some Tequila
I said, who needs ya?
I don't have to do this alone
Me and Mexico are lettin' you go

Me and Mexico are lettin' you go
(Me and Mexico)
(Me and Mexico)
