歌曲歌詞
Laid back in an old saloon
With a peso in my hand
Watching flies and children on the street
And I catch a glimpse of black eyed girls
Who giggle when I smile
Theres a little boy who
Wants to shine my feet
And its three days ride from Bakersfield
And I dont know why I came
I guess I came to keep from paying dues
So instead Ive got a bottle
And a girl whos just fourteen
And a damn good case
Of the Mexicali blues yeah
Is there anything a man dont stand to lose
When the devil wants to take it all away
Cherish well your thoughts
And keep a tight grip on your booze
Cause thinking and drinking are all
I have today
She said her name was Billy Jean
And she was fresh in town
I didnt know a stage line ran from hell
She had raven hair a ruffled dress
A necklace made of gold
All the French perfume youd care to smell
She took me up into her room
And whispered in my ear
Go on my friend do anything you choose
Now Im paying for those happy hours
I spent there in her arms
With a lifetimes worth of
The Mexicali blues yeah
Is there anything a man dont stand to lose
When the devil wants to take it all away
Cherish well your thoughts and keep
A tight grip on your booze
Cause thinking and drinking are
All I have today
And then a man rode into town
Some thought he was the law
Billy Jean was waiting when he came
She told me he would take her if
I didnt use my gun
Id have no one but myself to blame
I went down to those dusty streets
Blood was on my mind
I guess that stranger hadnt heard the news
Cause I shot first and killed him
Lord he didnt even draw
And he made me trade the gallows
For the Mexicali blues yeah
Is there anything a man dont stand to lose
When he lets a woman hold him in her hands
He just might find himself out there
