John Prine - Mexican Home Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • It got so hot, last night, I swear
  • You couldnt hardly breathe
  • Heat lightning burnt the sky like alcohol
  • I sat on the porch without my shoes
  • And I watched the cars roll by
  • As the headlights raced
  • To the corner of the kitchen wall.
  • Chorus:
  • Mama dear
  • Your boy is here
  • Far across the sea
  • Waiting for
  • That sacred core
  • That burns inside of me
  • And I feel a storm
  • All wet and warm
  • Not ten miles away
  • Approaching
  • My mexican home.
  • My god! I cried, its so hot inside
  • You could die in the living room
  • Take the fan from the window
  • Prop the door back with a broom
  • The cuckoo clock has died of shock
  • And the windows feel no pane
  • The airs as still
  • As the throttle on a funeral train.
  • Chorus:
  • My father died on the porch outside
  • On an august afternoon
  • I sipped bourbon and cried
  • With a friend by the light of the moon
  • So its hurry! hurry! step right up
  • Its a matter of life or death
  • The sun is going down
  • And the moon is just holding its breath.
  • Chorus:
