lyrics

Where do I go when I’m this close to Mexico
And need a red beer poured by the hands of a man so old
He served them high balls to Marilyn Monroe
And that yonder river hadn’t ceased to flow
A well-worn place with gritty grace, just a stone’s throw
Where you can howl, shout, and croon or simply sink into
Red leather booths that swaddle you in shadow
Before the blood stained the banks of the Rio Bravo

“Have fun, get drunk, no trouble”
Said the lady at the parking lot by the Juarez bridge
That old waiter would turn a napkin into an origami rose
But if they close Kentucky down we can’t go back again

All is safe just this side of Cristo Rey
And my mind it drifts back to the prohibition days
Beyond the heartache, and the turf war, and the scars
When you could piss into a trough right on the bar
But under siege and on its knees a city prays
But you go and snort another line and pretend it’s okay
And let them coyotes bring a few more slaves
It’s hard to find a soul that’s not to blame

“Have fun, get drunk, no trouble”
Said the lady at the parking lot by the Juarez bridge
I can feel the sting of a kamikaze swimming in my nose
If they close Kentucky down we can’t go back again

“Have fun, get drunk, no trouble”
Said the lady at the parking lot by the Juarez bridge
It’s just a quarter at the border to make that turnstile roll
But if they close Kentucky down we can’t go back again

Where do I go, where do I go, where do I go?
