Adios

When I walk through the doors of these border town bars It's like walking 30 years back in time There's dollar, beers and hand-rolled smokes Cowboys telling gringo jokes And all I need to keep you off my mind For a while, I was king of the McGill Hidalgo scene Howling up at the warm Acuña stars My new friends drink my wallet dry And I end up alone each night Sleeping on the floorboard of my car Adios Rio Grande Adios My old friend I'm going back to Texas like an arrow through the wind So until we meet again, adios Well, I kissed my Marisol on the day I left for Del Rio And I pressed my last 20 in her hand I had no cure for the tears in her eyes I told her I'd miss her and I did not lie It's sure good to be headin' home again Adios Rio Grande Adios My old friend I'm going back to Texas like an arrow through the wind So until we meet again, adios She was midnight, you were mornin' She was starlight, you were blue hill country sky As the road rolls out before me I see you both between the lines Adios Adios I'm going back to Texas like an arrow through the wind So until we meet again, adios
