Heart On Fire In Mexico

She was a dark haired Juarez beauty
Flirting with a G.I joe off duty
Working him for tips at a bar in Mexico

One cigarette smoke break by the back door
Turned into a pack on the hood of his Ford
Where he is now, the Devil knows

A late night 2 AM mistake
But sometimes one time is all it takes
Won't be long now before she starts to show

Can you smell that smoke
Drifting in the desert wind to San Antone?
A wild eye senorita becomes a desperate mamacita
You had to go, leave a heart on fire in Mexico

Turns out all the big dreams she had
Didn't look like feedin' mouths on food stamps
So one night she up and drove away

And that baby girl she left survivin'
One day got real tired of cryin'
Grew up mad as hell
And counted down the days

Oh, can you smell that smoke
Drifting in the desert wind to San Antone?
A wild eye senorita becomes a desperate mamacita
You had to go, leave a heart on fire in Mexico
In Mexico

No one to care, nowhere to go
But in and out of foster homes
She had a dream that burned
And she made it out

Rollin' to those Texas hills
Had herself a dark eyed girl
Swore all the tears she cried
Was a pain she'll never know

Can you smell that smoke
Drifting in the desert wind to San Antone?
A wild eye senorita becomes a desperate mamacita
You had to go, leave a heart on fire in Mexico
In Mexico
