Mexico
Southbound Tales: Unforgettable Mexican Adventures
Lyrics
Old man said we take the Buick down
Old man advises taking the Buick on a trip.
Bring back in one piece, safe and sound
Objective: Return the Buick intact and safely.
Stay out of jail, 'cuz I ain't coming to get you
Warning to stay out of trouble, as help won't be provided.
Packed up a bunch of burnt CDs
Packed with burnt CDs.
Camel Lights and Skoal wintergreen
Items include Camel Lights and Skoal wintergreen.
Torn out down 35 under the moon
Driving down Route 35 under the moon.
Livin' it up while we're headed south
Heading south for a lively adventure.
To the other side of that border town
Destination: The other side of a border town.
Johnny gettin' rowdy early like he always does
Johnny getting rowdy early.
Can't believe the shit we got into
Reflecting on the unexpected situations encountered.
Shot of tequila always turns into to
A tequila shot leading to unforeseen outcomes.
Falling in love with someone you gotta say goodbye to
Falling in love with someone destined to leave.
Time rolled real slow
Time passing slowly.
Making memories down in Mexico
Creating lasting memories in Mexico.
A couple bucks for another joint
Spending money on another joint.
So far from home and that was the point
Being far from home is intentional.
Messed up in Mexico, singing refried dreams
Messing up in Mexico, singing dreams with a Mexican touch.
Federales broke us up
Federales separating the group.
Cuffed us in the back of their truck
Being cuffed in the back of a truck.
Another drunk gringo is all they see
Seen as just another intoxicated foreigner.
Living it up while we're headed south
Continuing the journey south.
To the other side of that border town
Reaching the other side of the border town.
Johnny getting rowdy early like he always does
Johnny's early rowdiness persists.
Can't believe the shit we got into
Reflecting on the challenges faced.
Shot of tequila always turns into to
Tequila leading to unexpected emotions.
Falling in love with someone you gotta say goodbye to
Falling in love, knowing goodbyes are imminent.
Time rolled real slow
Time passing slowly.
Making memories down in Mexico
Building cherished memories in Mexico.
By the grace God, Let me off this time
Seeking mercy from God for a narrow escape.
Paid off by those friends of mine
Debt paid off by supportive friends.
Lucky as hell, that I lived to tell
Feeling fortunate to survive and share the experience.
Free and sobered up, headed home
Returning home free and sober.
Brought the Buick back in one piece
The Buick safely brought back.
Washed away that Dos Equis dreams
Overcoming dreams influenced by Dos Equis.
Can't believe the shit we got into
Reflecting on the challenges faced.
Shot of tequila always turns into to
Tequila leading to unexpected emotions.
Falling in love with someone you gotta say goodbye to
Falling in love, knowing goodbyes are imminent.
No scratches, no dents, Days well spent
Returning unharmed with no negative experiences.
Time rolled real slow
Time passing slowly.
Making memories down in Mexico
Building cherished memories in Mexico.
Making memories down in Mexico
Reiteration of creating lasting memories in Mexico.
