Johnathan East Halfway To Mexico
I came home from work and I walked through the door
Found another man’s clothes laid out on my floor, and I
just snapped
You tried to explain and I didn’t care
I just packed my bags and got the hell out of there,
and never looked back
With tears in my eyes and a load on my mind
I hit the road, left the heartache behind
Picking up speed, with the wheel in my hand
Bound for the Border, just as hard as I can.
(Chorus)
I’m halfway to Mexico, got a Spanish song on the radio
I’m taking back life with every turn, lost every fear
and left all concern
Like a tumble weed blowing through the midnight wind
I don’t know when I’ll be coming back again
Got a few more thoughts and a hundred miles to go
I’m halfway to Mexico.
Maybe, I’ll get a job at a Mexican bar
Drink shots of Tequila, while I play my guitar, all
night long
Buy a sombrero, get a tattoo
I’ll do what I can to forget about you and I’ll move on
Work on my tan, maybe start a new life
A young Senorita would make a good wife
It won’t be long now and I’ll be all right
I’m making my way as I drive through the night.
(Repeat Chorus)
There’s a town down on the Border, where the cowboys
stay
Where time moves slow and memories fade away.
(Repeat Chorus)
I’m halfway to Mexico.
