Chorus:
Well I might go crazy, I might go to Mexico
You're too far away as far as I can see
I'm just a lonely gringo, a lazy desperado
Oh, Mexico or crazy it's the same to me

I walked half a mile just to call you from a payphone
Every time I tried it you weren't there
I know it's been a while since your lovin' man's been home
Well the wheels and the miles aren't always fair

The sun burned my neck and I could use a shower
Been livin' life on far too little sleep
The rain misses this land the way my breath misses your shoulder
Sometimes what you give away is what you keep

Chorus

Rolled the man a dollar, he rode us across the river
It's not as wide as the rift between you and me
But there's a mountain taller the ones here on the Rio
It's hard to climb a hill on bended knee

Chorus
