Karaoke The Seashores of Old Mexico George Strait

I left out of Tucson no destination in mind

I was runnin' from trouble and the jail term the Judge had in mind

And the border meant freedom a new life, romance

And that's why I thought

I should go

And start my life over on the seashores of old Mexico

My first night in Juarez lost all the money I had

One bad señorita made use of one innocent lad

But I must keep on runnin' it's too late to turn back

I'm wanted in Tucson I'm told

Yeah and things will blow over on the seashores of old Mexico

Two Mexican farmers en route to a town

I can't say

Let me ride on the back of a flatbed half loaded with hay

Down through Durango

Colima, Almiera then in the Manzanillos

Where I slept in the sunshine on seashores of old Mexico

After one long siesta

I came wide awake in the night

I was startled by someone who shadowed the pale moonlight

My newfound companion one young señorita who offered a broken hello

To the gringo she found on the seashores of old Mexico

She spoke of Sonora and swore that she'd never return

For her Mexican husband she really had no great concern

'Cos she loved the gringo my red hair and lingo

And that's all

I needed to know

Yeah I found what I needed on the seashores of old Mexico

Yeah she loved the gringo my red hair and lingo

And that's all

I needed to know

Ha ha

Yeah I found what I needed on the seashores of old Mexico
