Gilby Clarke, Slash - Tijuana Jail lyrics

Welcome to salvation
My tequila's my companion
For this evening of oblivion
See, everyone around me kinda bores me
It makes me lonely
With the friends I never had

I'm packing up my Mustang 'cause
This city has no heart
It sucks you in, and it spit's you out
Patiently I'm seeking
A destination is unknown
I followed the road down to Mexico

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, "Señor
You're not in Texas anymore"

Send my love to my home, but send my mail
To Tijuana jail

I was 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, yeah

Sorry Mr officer, but I'm gonna get revenge
On this side of the border
20 pesos get you dead
He smiled and said, "Señor
I think I'll drink to your threats"

Send my love to my home, but send my mail
To Tijuana jail

In my destitution, suicide's a solution
And I'm a gambler, and I'm not cashed in
You see, the sun is going down and
My problems will be solved
By dawn, but not by justice

I smelled liquor on his breath and I
Knew this was my last chance
I begged, "Give a dying man his last drink"
He handed me the glass with just
The worm and then he laughed
I pulled a switchblade 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, "Señor
You're not in Texas anymore"

Send my love to my home, but send my mail
To a Texas jail
