Lyle Lovett "The Road to Ensenada" |
(Lovett) As I lay sick and broken Viva Mexico My eyes just won't stay open And I dream a dream of home I dream a dream of home Where there's coffee on the table And kindness in your hands Honey I'll help you when I'm able But right now I'm feelin' bad... Right now I'm feelin' bad Listen to your heart that beats And follow it with both your feet And as you walk and as you breathe You ain't no friend of me... You ain't no friend of me The road to Ensenada Is plenty wide and fast If you head south from Tijuana I'll see you at last... I'll see you at last But my eyes they open slowly And look around the room The old man he seems worried And their ain't no sign of you... There ain't no sign of you Listen to your heart that beats And follow it with both your feet And as you walk and as you breathe You ain't no friend of me... You ain't no friend of me You can offer to the righteous The good that you have won But down here among the unclean Your good work just comes undone... Your good work just comes undone The sisters at the borderline They're holding out their hands They're begging me for something Lord But I don't understand... I don't understand So it's adios to Alvero Tell him to stay between the lines And if he sees that Gabriella girl Tell her I'll look her up next time... Say I'll look her up next time Because the road to Ensenada Is plenty wide and fast And this time through Tijuana Well it won't be my last... It won't be my last Listen to your heart that beats And follow it with both your feet And as you walk and as you breathe You ain't no friend of me You ain't no friend of me No you ain't no friend of me Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
