Mexican Home

Intro:

It got so hot, last

night,

I swear

You

couldnt hardly

breathe

Heat

lightning

burnt the

sky

like

alcohol

I

sat

on the porch

without

my shoes

And I

watched

the cars roll

by

As the

headlights

raced

To the

corner

of the kitchen

wall.

Mama dear Your boy is here

Far

across the

sea

Waiting

for That

sacred

core

That burns inside of

me

And I

feel

a storm

All

wet

and warm

Not

ten

miles

away

Approaching

My

mexican

home.

(Repeat Intro)

My

god!

I cried, its

so

hot inside

You could

die

in the living

room

Take the

fan

from the window

Prop

the door back with a

broom

The

cuckoo

clock has

died

of shock

And the

windows

feel no

pane

The

airs

as still As the

throttle

on a funeral

train.

(Chorus)

(Reapeat Intro)

My

father

died on the

porch

outside

On an

august

after

noon

I sipped

bourbon

and cried

With a

friend

by the light of the

moon

So its

hurry!

hurry!

step

right up

Its a

matter

of life or

death

The

sun

is going down

And the

moon

is just holding its

breath.
