Welcome to salvation
My tequila's my companion
For this evening of oblivion
Everyone around me kinda bores me
It makes me lonely with the friends
I never had packing up my Mustang
'Cause this city has no heart
It sucks you in and spits you out
Patiently I'm seeking
My destination is unknown
I followed the road down to Mexico
Sorry Mr.Officer
I think you got it wrong
I'm just a lonely ol' Texas boy
And I wanna get on home
He smiled and said
"Senor you're not in Texas anymore"
Send my love to my home
But send my mail to a Tijuana Jail
Staring at the ceiling of my jail cell
It's my home at least for now
It seems like forever
Sleeping on the floor with the rats crawling up my ass
I'm gonna kill that officer
Sorry Mr. Officer
But I'm gonna get revenge
On this side of the border 20 pesos get you dead
He smiled and said
"Senor I think I'll drink to your threats"
Send my love to my home
But sent my mail to a Tijuana jail
In my destitution suicides a solution
But I'm a gambler, and I'm not cashed in
The sun is going down and my problems
Will be solved by dawn but not by justice
I smelled liquor on his breath
I knew this is my last chance
I begged give a dying man his last drink
He handed me a glass
With just the worm and he laughed
I pulled a switch blade from my boot
And shoved it in his throat
Sorry Mr. Officer
I think you got it wrong
I'm a lonely ol' Texas boy
And I wanna get on home
He smiled and said
"Senor you're not in Texas anymore"
Send my love to my home
But send my mail to a Texas Jail
