Heart On Fire In Mexico

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She was a dark haired Juarez beauty Flirtin' with the G.I. Joe off duty Workin' him for tips at a bar in Mexico One cigarette smoke break by the back door Turned into a pack on the hood of his Ford Where he is now, the devil knows A late night 2 AM mistake But sometimes one time is all it takes Won't be long now 'fore she starts to show [Chorus] Can you smell that smoke? Driftin' in the desert wind to San Antone A wild-eyed señorita becomes a despеrate mamacita You had to go leave a hеart on fire in Mexico [Post-Chorus] Mm, mm, mm [Verse 2] Turns out all the big dreams she had Didn't look like feedin' mouths on food stamps So one night, she up and drove away And that baby girl she left survivin' One day got real tired of cryin' Grew up mad as hell and countin' down the days [Chorus] Oh, can you smell that smoke? Driftin' in the desert wind to San Antone A wild-eyed señorita becomes a desperate mamacita You had to go leave a heart on fire in Mexico [Post-Chorus] Mm, mm In Mexico Mm [Bridge] No one to care, nowhere to go But in and out of foster homes She had a dream that burned and she made it out Rolled into those Texas hills Had herself a dark-eyed girl Swore all the tears she cried was a pain she'll never know [Chorus] Can you smell that smoke? Driftin' in the desert wind to San Antone A wild-eyed señorita becomes a desperate mamacita You had to go leave a heart on fire in Mexico [Post-Chorus] Mm, mm In Mexico Mm, mm, mm
