Marty Robbins - Bound for Old Mexico lyrics
[Marty Robbins - Bound for Old Mexico lyrics]
True I wasn't born anywhere
South of the border
And I'm not a native to old Mexico
But there's someone there makes my heart
As though may to order
And it's fittingly proper through these
Eyes that lovers show
If I could just write it
Off as mere fascination
Then the problems we face would die
Where they are and not grow
But my will's not contained in the
Thoughts little minds now are thinking
Oh I'm on my way to old Mexico
There are those who will shame
Us by opening showing rejection
But the game must be played in
Accordance to how the cards fall
And my life's not dependant on
Their kind of narrow affection
For the choice between them would
Be no choice at all
So the sound of the rails to my
Ears will be sweet sweet music
The longer I hear it the
Shorter the time we're apart
Soon I will see the span of the
Old Rio Grande lay before me
And the land that gave birth to the
Girl who now holds my heart
I'll be ridin' these same rails in
The not too distant future
Life will be so complete for in
This very seat soon I know
There'll be two and not one for love's
Will shall be done good Lord willin'
Oh I'm on my way to old Mexico
To old Mexico to old Mexico
South of the border
And I'm not a native to old Mexico
But there's someone there makes my heart
As though may to order
And it's fittingly proper through these
Eyes that lovers show
If I could just write it
Off as mere fascination
Then the problems we face would die
Where they are and not grow
But my will's not contained in the
Thoughts little minds now are thinking
Oh I'm on my way to old Mexico
There are those who will shame
Us by opening showing rejection
But the game must be played in
Accordance to how the cards fall
And my life's not dependant on
Their kind of narrow affection
For the choice between them would
Be no choice at all
So the sound of the rails to my
Ears will be sweet sweet music
The longer I hear it the
Shorter the time we're apart
Soon I will see the span of the
Old Rio Grande lay before me
And the land that gave birth to the
Girl who now holds my heart
I'll be ridin' these same rails in
The not too distant future
Life will be so complete for in
This very seat soon I know
There'll be two and not one for love's
Will shall be done good Lord willin'
Oh I'm on my way to old Mexico
To old Mexico to old Mexico
