Don Lupe

One quiet Monday evening in San Miguel
I was feeling kind of hungry and my baby was as well
We stopped into a place to get a drink and a bite
And ended up staying all of the night

You come for an hour, but then you stay instead
That's alright, you're welcome anyway
Bienvenidos a Don Lupe

There were lots of friendly people and the food was fine
Enchiladas, quesadillas, cervezas and wine
And when my baby saw the menu she said, man oh man
An entire separate page for us vegetarians

Then Spider and Rolando began to play
Big bill's blues, I got the keys to the hallway
And the love of the music was in everyone's eyes
Then Spider announced, you gotta hear these guys
And a dozen different players from all over town
Stepped up to the mic and laid the songs down
Some of the old, some's and some brand new
Until the whole damn crowd was singing too

Great atmosphere, great people, great food, making friends
Ambiente bueno, gente buena, comida buena, haciendo amigos

And Cesar made everybody feel at home
While Dilan danced with a [?] in from Rome
And Monica mixed and Kevin got 'em cleared
And at the end of the night, we all sang free beer (free beer!)

But there was one last song before the night was done
When Javier stepped up to the microphone
And sang a beautiful balada
So sweet and so high
And that place and that song, hung the stars in the sky
