[C]
With Tennessee, [G] sour [F] mash, whiskey [C] on my breath,
Rosalie, Susie, [G] and Lucy on [C] my mind.
[F]
I drove my old [G] car down [Em] dusty streets of this [F] old border [Dm] town,
But I never thought [F] I'd get stuck here such [G] a long, long time.
I [F] got a million dollar [G] bill, and they [C] can't change it,
[F]
They won't let [C] me leave until [G] my tab is paid.
[F] So I might as well [G] settle down, [Em] guess and buy the [F] house another round,
[Dm] Send my [F] mail to the Rosarito Beach [G] Cafe.
It [C] was one of those hot, [G] dry dime a [F] dozen [C] Mexicali days,
When I fell through the [G] door of the Rosarito [C] Beach Cafe,
[F] And I got [G] myself a table with a [Em] view of the breakers in [F] the bay,
[D] And another [F] cold, old, secky song [G]
away.
I [F] got a million dollar [G] bill, and they [C] can't change it,
[F]
They won't let [C] me leave until [G] my tab is paid.
[F] So I might as well [G] settle down, [Em] guess and buy the house [F] another round,
[D]
Send my mail [F] to the Rosarito Beach [G] Cafe.
[C] Well, I soon fell in [G] with thugs and [C] thieves [F] and gamblers [C] from the beach,
And the devil himself [G] suggested an [C] all-night game.
[F] But the night winds [G] came along, [Em] like some dark-eyed senior [F] leader [Am] song,
Blew my straight flush [F] out [G] across the waves.
I got [F] a million [G] dollar bill, and they [C]
can't change it,
[F]
They won't let [C] me leave until my [G] tab is paid.
[F] So I might as well [G] settle down, [Em] guess and buy the house [F] another round,
