Strum
D-DU-UDU
 (C5--A5)]  x2
Welcome  to salvation, my Tequila's  my companion
 for this evening  of oblivion
 Everyone  around me, kinda bores  me, it makes me
 lonely with the friends  I never had
Packing  up my Mustang cuz' this city  has no heart,
 it sucks you in  and spits you out
Patiently  I'm seeking my destination  is unknown,
 I followed the road  down to Mexico
Sorry  Mr. Officer I think  you got it wrong,
 I'm just a  lonely ol' Texas boy and I wanna  get on home
 He smiled  and said "senor  you're not in Texas  anymore"
 Send my love to my home but send my mail to a Ti--jua--na  Jail
---]  x3
 Staring at the ceiling of my jail cell it's my home,
 at least for now, it seems like forever
 Sleeping on the floor with the rats, crawling up my ass,
 I'm gonna kill that officer
 Sorry Mr. Officer but I'm gonna get revenge,
 on this side of the border 20 pesos get you dead
 He smiled and said "senor I think I'll drink to your threats"
 Send my love to my home, but sent my mail to a Tijuana Jail
 In my destitution suicides a solution, but
 I'm a gambler, and I'm not cashed in
 The sun is going down and my problems will be solved by dawn,
 but not by justice
 I smelled liquor on his breath, I knew this is my last chance,
 I begged give a dying man his last drink
 He handed me a glass with just the worm and he laughed I pulled a
 switchblade from my boot and shoved it in his throat
 Sorry Mr. Officer I think you got it wrong,
 I'm a lonely ol' Texas boy and I wanna get on home
 He smiled and said "senor you're not in Texas anymore"
 Send my love to my home but send my mail to a Texas Jail.
