Blame It on Mexico
Love's Last Tango: Blaming Mexico for Passion's Encore
Lyrics
In a bar in Acuña called Ma Crosby's
In a bar called Ma Crosby's in Acuña
I found myself not feeling any pain
Feeling no pain, likely intoxicated
I told a 'Frisco girl I'd come for freedom
Expressed intentions to a girl from San Francisco about seeking freedom
She said she'd only come to catch a train
The girl was there only to catch a train, not for the same reason as him
We struck up some idle conversation
Casual conversation ensued
Traded all the troubles on our minds
Shared and exchanged their problems
One thing led to another in the evening
Escalation of their interaction throughout the evening
And I fell in love again for my last time
He fell in love once more, perhaps for the last time
Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason
Attributing his feelings to Mexico
Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime
Blaming the atmosphere - music, tequila, and the setting
Blame it on Mexico, but she's the reason
Despite blaming Mexico, the girl is the actual reason for his feelings
That I fell in love again for my last time
Expressing the depth of his emotional attachment, possibly the last time
Then daylight dawned and found me in Del Rio
Awakening in Del Rio
In a rundown motel room as dark as hell
Waking up in a dismal motel room
I felt all the pains of a morning after
Experiencing the aftereffects of heavy drinking
And all alone as far as I could tell
Feeling utterly alone
Why she left I have no way of knowing
Unsure of why she left
Guess she caught her train and that's a crime
Presuming she caught her train, feeling it was a loss
She took everything I ever wanted
She took everything he desired
And I fell in love again for my last time
Reiterating his emotional state after her departure
Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason
Repeating the blame on Mexico
Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime
Linking the atmosphere to his emotional vulnerability
Blame it on Mexico, but she's the reason
Emphasizing the girl as the core reason
That I fell in love again for my last time
Reiterating the intensity of his feelings
Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason
Continuing to attribute feelings to Mexico
Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime
Repetition of the atmospheric influences
Blame it on Mexico, but she's the reason
Re-emphasizing the girl's impact
That I fell in love again for my last time
Stressing the emotional significance
Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason
Continued attributing of feelings to Mexico
Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime
Reiterating the influence of the setting
Blame it on Mexico
Final repetition of blaming Mexico
