Schwa Lyrics

Girl From Mexico

Lyricist: Dave Katz
Vocalist: Dave Katz

Just round midnight, smokey roadside cafe. 
Right around midnight, south Californ-i-a 
Just a cup of joe, To help me up that road to San Jose  
 
She walked through that door, Like a cool mountain breeze
Came right through that door, She was looking for a man to please
Her scent sweet in the air, She pulled up that chair, Right next to me
 
My heart stopped one time, two times, three times, I don't know 
She took my breath away, that girl from Mexico 
My heart stopped one time, two times, three times, 
I don't know She took my breath away, that little girl from Mexico 
 
She said it's been a hard day, and I need to get loose 
It's been a hard, hard day, she didn't need no excuse 
She said, hey bartender, I think I'll go on a bender, Give me cactus juice 
 
I think I had two shots, four shots, six shots, I don't know 
When I woke up, I was is Mexico 
I think it was two shots, four shots, six shots, I don't know 
When I woke up, Lord I was is Mexico 
 
You know that long black hair, and those deep dark eyes 
That long black hair, she kept me beggin' for her prize 
In a seedy motel, we went through heaven and hell 
Ya know I let her drive 
 
We drank all day, and we partied till the sun came up 
We drank all day long, from the bottle not from no cup 
I woke up in a haze, she'd left without a trace 
I guess she had enough 
 
I think it was one night, two nights, three nights, I don't know 
I think I left my soul way down in Mexico 
I think it was one night, two nights, three nights, I don't know 
I think I left my soul way down in Mexico 
 
When I close my eyes each night, I can still see her face 
When I close my eyes each and every night, I can still taste her taste 
Always on my mind, memories of that time
I wish I could erase 
 
I think it's been one month, two months, three months, I don't know 
Can't stop thinking about that girl from Mexico 
I think it's been one month, two months, three months, I don't know 
Can't stop thinking about that girl from Mexico 
Ya know I can't stop thinking about, that girl from Mexico 
Ya know I can't stop thinking about, that little girl from Mexico
