All right, this is called drunk in Mexico on a Sunday afternoon in a marketplace in Mexico
[A] [C] in a Texas border town [D] I ran across this woman she
[G] Turned my life around
She had that money Texas look
[C] Old wells and lots of land.
[A] [D] I had my own kind of look
[G] Just drunk enough to stand
Well, I watched trees around that shot

All right, this is called drunk in Mexico on a Sunday afternoon in _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ a marketplace in Mexico
_ _ [A] _ _ [C] in a Texas border town _ _ [D] _ I ran across this woman she _
_ [G] _ _ _ Turned my life around
_ _ She had that money Texas look _
_ [C] Old wells and lots of land. _ _
[A] [D] I had my own kind of look _ _ _
[G] _ Just drunk enough to stand _
Well, I watched trees around that shot
_ _ [C]
Through wide but blurry eyes
_ _ [D] _
And she's right up to me _ _ _ _
Grinned and asked me is it why?
_ _ To be so drunk in [G] Mexico
_ _ _ [C] on a Sunday afternoon
_ _ _ [D] She said don't you have some cows to punch cowboy [G] or _ something else to do?
_ _ Well, I did my best to explain myself
_ _ _ [C] _ Thick tongue though I was
_ [D] And I started to lie and then I changed my mind.
_ [G] _ I said it's just because I
_ _ [D] _ [G] Do not have a cow to punch
_ [Dm] _ [A] _ [C] Nothing else to really do.
[C] _
_ _ [A] _ [D] That's why I get drunk in Mexico _
_ _ [G] _ on Sunday afternoon _
_ [F] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Well, she took me by the hand _ _
_ _ [A] She led me out in the Mexican heat _ _
_ [B] _ She held me around a corner and _ [Em] _ [E] then on up the street _ _
and
She poured me into her Cadillac _
_ [A] _ She pointed us towards the bridge _ _
[Gm] _ [B] She asked me just where in Texas _ _
_ [E] Was it that I live? _ _ _
_ the custom agent at the bridge, however _
_ [A] He asked what we had to declare. _ _
[B] _ I said I declare I'm the drunkest some bitch anywhere
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[E] Well, I custom agent he looked me up _ _ _
[A] And he looked me down and then
_ He [B] said hey there.
Mr.
Tall lanky cowboy fella.
He said I've seen you before and I just [E] can't believe that you're here again
He _ _ [Gb]
said why are you always drunk in Mexico? _ _ _
[A] _ on Sunday afternoon _ _ _ _
[G] _ [B] Don't you ask cows to punch cowboy? _ _
_ [E] _ Something else to do
[B] _ _
_ [E] Well, I did my best to explain myself _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ Thick tongue though I was [G] and [B] I started to lie
And then I changed my mind.
_ [E] I said it's just because _ _ _ _ I do not have a cow to punch _ _
_ [A] _ Nothing else to really do _ _ _
_ [B] _ That's why I get drunk in Mexico _ _
_ [E] on Sunday afternoon _ _ _
[Gb] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] well
[F] We cruise back into Texas _ _
[F] _ [Bb] up highway
83 _ _
_ [C] _ She didn't speak for miles and miles until finally
[F] Just outside of Carrizo Springs _ _
_ She finally turned the stereo down _ _
[Bb] _ _ She's back on the street _ _
_ [C] She flashed me this serious little smile _
_ [Gm] _ [F] This is what she said to me. _ _
_ She said my daddy will not like you
_ [Bb] Cuz you're too damn much like him _ _
_ [Abm] [C] You see mama found him in a bar in Mexico.
Well
[Bb] _ [F] _ Kind of on a whim
_ _ [Ab] _
_ She
Hauled him back to Texas and _
_ [Bb] she washed and she ironed his shirt and _ [C] she introduced him to the family and well _
[Bb] _ [F] She took him to the church _ _ _
_ But that was 30 years ago.
She said _ _
[Bb] _ in a different border town _ _ _
_ [C] Now sober up there cowboy.
She said to me _
_ [F] Cuz you're about to settle down
_ [Dm] _
_ She said here's some gum and comb your hair _ _
[Bb] _ It don't act so confused _ _ _
_ [G] [C] But remember no more drinking in Mexico _
[Bb] _ [F] on Sunday afternoon _ _
Well, I did my best to extract myself in this particular situation.
[Bb] Oh good Lord, though
My tongue sure had swell _ _
[C] And I started to lie and then I changed my mind. _
[Bb] _ [F] I figured hey, what the hell I _
_ Didn't have a cow to punch _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ Nothing else to really do _ _
_ [C] That's why I've been getting drunk in Mexico _ [G] on [F] all those Sunday
[Bb] _ [F] afternoon _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] That's take [N] oh, it's a terrible parable I'll tell you
