He Never Came Back From Mexico Lyrics

He Never Came Back From Mexico- Gary P. Nunn
Intro DGAD
Riding high on a blacktop sky
Moon is shinin on the desert tonight
500 miles down the Pan-American highway
Leavin Texas broke my heart
Now I'm off to a brand new start
They'll be wonderin where I am by Friday
Checkin out of the same ol' grind
Nothin but blue skies on my mind
Back home I know they'll say
Well we told him not to go but he went anyway
Chorus-
And he never came back from Mexico
What he's doin there nobody knows
He left this town a long time ago
And he never came back....
Takin on a golden glow
On the shores of Old Mexico
Ridin the waves where the sea meets the Cia De Madre
She was barefoot in my dreams
Spanish angel in stonewashed jeans
Something in her eyes seemed to whisper follow me
Givin up on that 9 to 5
I'm gonna have the time of my life
Back home I know they'll say
Well we told him not to go but he went anyway
Repeat Chorus-
Bridge-
I'll be drinkin that Cuervo Gold
Gettin young before I get old
They'll say he's in trouble somewhere
Guess he must have gone crazy down there....whoa-o-whoa-o-whoa
Last Chorus-
And he never came back from Mexico
What he's doin there nobody knows
He left this town a long time ago
And he never came back....from Old Mexico
