Drexler McStyles: an attempt at songwriting that ended up the same as everything else

an attempt at songwriting that ended up the same as everything else

Down In Mexico

sitting on the couch with a pabst
dreamin of clueless virgins
or something of the like
some people could drive a corvette
to the grand canyon to stick their fingers in the dike
but I never got that far
my bike was just too slow
but maybe some day I would make it
down to Mexico

it was time to go to work
but I couldnt find a job
so I bitched about the weather
until the clouds began to sob
and the presidents a bastard
and I dont like corn on the cob
I wanted carne asada
and a cerveza to go
maybe I could find one
down in Mexico

the wife had had enough
of all my complaining and random shit
she said why dont you get out of here
youre nothing but a money pit
so I packed my hoboin' bag
and told her where she could go
and as for me
it was down to Mexico

waiting at the greyhound station
with the night of the living dead
the people all had infections
their eyes were made of lead
one guys shirt looked like a tortilla
and he had a pinto bean for a head
No I wasnt like these jokers
who had no place to go
I was takin all our rent money
down to Mexico

finally the bus marked for El Paso
pulled up onto the curb
I stashed a bottle of whiskey
for when I needed to work up the nerve
to call my rat faced wife
from some 24 hour diner lot
say some really nasty shit
and take her parting shot
well she could stick it
where the sun dont ever go
and dont worry about me baby
Im on my way to Mexico

they woke us at 4 in the morning
we all stumbled off the bus to take a piss
I bought a subway sandwich
and stole some lighters they wouldnt miss
I wanted carne asada
and a cerveza to go
but I still had some time
before I was in Mexico

after the bus got rolling
I fondled some sleeping breasts
and the fact she never knew about it
was probably for the best
then I drank the whiskey
and it put my mind to rest
knowing in a couple days from now
I could score some blow
from some shady greaser
down in Mexico

when I woke up in the morning
I wiped away the drool
and knew that I was in Texas
because nothing there is cool
I needed to get off this bus
before I went loco
find me some pleasures
down in mexico

we pulled into the station
and the border was in my sights
I took a piss on America
and said goodbye to human rights
I wanted carne asada
and a cerveza to go
and in just a few minutes
Id have them down in Mexico

a mustache in dark glass and a cap
waved me through without delay
I found the nearest cantina
and hookers whose gums were grey
she said it was only 10 dollar
but that was too much to pay
I told her sister I would take her
to see the donkey show
I was sure to get the clap
down in Mexico

I found a room above a tire repair shop
in the worst part of town
the roaches came to hang out
after I pulled the curtain down
and the man on my left beat his women
while I made my plans to go
down a little further
into Mexico

In the morning of my second week
I packed up all my shit
Id whored around this city
anyway that Id seen fit
but I wanted to be near the seaside
and I still had a ways to go
if I wanted to sit on a beach
down in Mexico

The bus south has some problems
with things trying to work
the curtains were all blasted
and they all though I was a jerk
for asking about the chicken
that was pecking at my toe
things werent always gravy
down in Mexico

after we crossed the mountains
the gulf was easy to spot
we stopped off at a cervezeria
and I scored a bag of pot
I smoked some in the toilet
with the paranoia to go
because they dont like marijuanos
down in Mexico

well I met a girl on the famous beach
with sunlight in her hair
she said she had a million dollars
and I said I didnt care
we lounged around and ate enchiladas
and fornicated really slow
life was pretty chilled out
down in Mexico

one day in late September
I received a telegram from my wife
she said she was tired of vegetable dinners
and living the lonely life
so wouldnt I quit fooling around
and catch a flight to go
back to the US of A
and leave Mexico

I was a bit tired of eating
all the same type of slop
and recently I had an altercation
with the brother of a infamous cop
so I kissed my sleeping beauty
and took a couple bundles of her cash
stepped out onto the porch
and smoked a pipeload of her hash
it wasnt going to be easy
reaping what I had to sow
but at least I had some fun for awhile
down in Mexico
