Chorus: Well I might go crazy, I might go to Mexico You're too far away as far as I can see I'm just a lonely gringo, a lazy desperado Oh, Mexico or crazy it's the same to me I walked half a mile just to call you from a payphone Every time I tried it you weren't there I know it's been a while since your lovin' man's been home Well the wheels and the miles aren't always fair The sun burned my neck and I could use a shower Been livin' life on far too little sleep The rain misses this land the way my breath misses your shoulder Sometimes what you give away is what you keep Chorus Rolled the man a dollar, he rode us across the river It's not as wide as the rift between you and me But there's a mountain taller the ones here on the Rio It's hard to climb a hill on bended knee Chorus
