lyrics

You woke up
A long time ago
With crystal ships
And Spanish trips
You made your way towards Mexico
And you found
A señorita
With long black hair
Ain't no money to spare
Both hooked on tequila
And you drove
Up the Western Coast
Just blowin' clouds in the sun so loud
She was the one that you loved the most
And you built
Yourselves a home
Just growin' dope on the Northern slope
With a couple of kids
Livin' on your own
And you were happy
For the first time in your life
Just relax in the shade
Ain't gotta pass the grade
Makin' love to a beautiful wife

Well, and then
The years passed by
In the blink of an eye you were no longer young
Tired and weak, too old for fun
And then she died
Holdin' your hand
Starin' at the sunset
Her feet in sand
A life to live
Would never live again

Then you passed away
And man, you were sure
Because you always swore if she goes first
You would run right after her
