George Strait - The Seashores of Old Mexico lyrics

I left, out of Tucson
With no destination in mind
I was running 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 senorita made use of one innocent lad
But, I must keep on running it's
Too late to turn back
I'm wanted in Tucson, I'm told
Yeah, and things'll 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
The 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 new-found companion, one young senorita
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
Cause she loved the gringo
My red hair and lingo
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
That's all I needed to know, ha, ha
Yeah, I found what I needed on
The seashores of old Mexico
