The Heart Of Oaxaca

The Heart Of Oaxaca

Border bard
Lost you in a crowd somewhere
And there you are there you aren't
In your sombrero
You learned how to disappear
Mexico
Nobody you know

Now you're dancing with a chocolate girl
With long, dark hair
You'll lose the blues
The cuckold's clues
With her tongue in your ear

But you can't go back
The pot is black the pot is black
The heart of Oaxaca's in you
Have you escaped the U.S. ache?
The heart of Oaxaca in you

Got home at noon time
Found your wife in bed
In her birthday suit
But not for you
You took your tequila
Tecate and hate
And drove too fast
In your passport mask

Now you're dancing with a chocolate girl
On a beach somewhere
Puerto Escondido
She's got her tongue in your ear

But you can't go back
The pot is black the pot is black
The heart of Oaxaca's in you
Have you escaped the U.S. ache?
The heart of Oaxaca in you

Now you're dancing with a chocolate girl
On a beach somewhere
You changed your name
You don't speak the same
Mexico's in your ear

But you can't go back
The pot is black 
So just unpack
The heart of Oaxaca's in you
Have you escaped the U.S. ache?
The heart of Oaxaca in you
