about
Some lonesome scene just south of the border. Autobiographical emotionally speaking.
lyrics
In a little border town
South of Chiricahua ground
The lustful seek forgiveness
From old familiar friends
Mariachis cull the sound
The desert sun is going down
Some may search for new lines
In the same old songs they’re sent
Have you nothing to spare for a tired old man?
In a little border town
Sorrows for a quarter drown
In cups of warm Tecate
And mescal-tonic vials
Firecrackers in the wind
The dire thoughts come creeping in
Dark curls on her fair skin
Disarmingly, she smiles
Have you no one to care for you now that she’s gone?
Lavender heavens stare sorrowfully down upon
In a little border town
The dark drifting angels go dancing through you mind
In a little border town
The shadows keep secrets of every sordid kind
In a little border town
The traces are tangled in melodies that wind
Round together lithely bound
To still-born notions of a life now left behind
