Boy’s Town

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Rode stolen horses down to Mexico one August afternoon I've been working at a guest ranch since the dog days of June Spent the season in a stable taking riders in and out Longing for the woman worth writing home about [Chorus] So I'm going down to Boy's Town while I still can It's got a reputation, but I don't give a damn All men have their demons and I've got mine But that's not why I rode across the Rio Grande this time Saddle up, stirrups down I'm going to Boy's Town [Verse 2] I first met Alejandra on a street outside Selena's Blindsided by her beauty and her broken English I think of her too often, in the flesh, above the covers It kills me to imagine her undressing for another [Chorus] So I'm going down to Boy's Town while I still can It's got a reputation, but I don't give a damn All men have their demons and I've got mine But that's not why I rode across the Rio Grande this time Saddle up, stirrups down I'm going to Boy's Town [Verse 3] I rode down with Gordo, Dallas, Jake, and Jack They're barkin' at a crescent moon, drinkin' whiskey from a flask On a street south of Laredo, countin' dollars and their dimes They ask, "Why are you so quiet?" I've got other things in mind [Chorus] So I'm going down to Boy's Town while I still can It's got a reputation, but I don't give a damn All men have their reasons and I've got mine But I ain't comin' back without her by my side this time Saddle up, stirrups down I'm going to Boy's Town [Outro] I'm going down to Boy's Town Going to Boy's Town
