Mexico Way

I was pickin' guitar
In  a small Texas bar
And  the people were watchin' me play
I spotted her eyes
Big as ol' southern skies
That  hung over Mexico way

And  I was singin' this song
About how I'd been done wrong
And  she smiled at the words that I'd sing
I knew in my head
She understood what I said
Down by Mexico Way

We  walked and walked
And talked and we talked
She sang songs to me through the night
She played my guitar
And my thoughts wandered far
And I held her so close and so tight

Now I'm leaving town
My head spinnin' round
Bound for some other city to play
But I'll always care
For the lady who's there
Down by Mexico Way
And I'll always care
For the lady who's there
Down by Mexico Way
