Mexican Home

[00:03.43] Last night it got so hot, I swear
[00:05.52] Couldn't hardly breathe
[00:08.85] And heat lightning burnt the sky
[00:11.29] Like alcohol
[00:14.51] I sat on the porch without my shoes
[00:17.78] And I watched the cars roll by
[00:20.28] As the headlights raced
[00:22.45] To the corner of the kitchen wall
[00:27.85] Mama dear, your boy is here
[00:30.29] Far across the sea
[00:33.24] Looking for that sacred core
[00:36.42] That burns inside of me
[00:39.30] And I feel the storm
[00:40.85] It's wet and warm
[00:42.72] Not ten miles away
[00:45.72] Approaching my Mexican home
[00:52.44] Oh my God, I cried, it's so hot inside
[00:54.69] You could die in your living room
[00:57.94] Take the fan from the window
[00:59.59] Prop the door back with a broom
[01:03.84] The cuckoo clock has died of shock
[01:07.05] And the windows feel no pane
[01:10.10] The air's as as still
[01:11.10] As the throttle of a funeral train
[01:17.46] Mama dear, your boy is here
[01:20.34] Far across the sea
[01:23.32] Looking for that sacred core
[01:26.04] That burns inside of me
[01:28.86] And I feel the storm
[01:30.76] It's wet and warm
[01:32.65] Not ten miles away
[01:34.70] Approaching my Mexican home
[02:07.07] And my father died on the porch outside
[02:08.61] Was an August afternoon
[02:10.69] I drank Bourbon and cried
[02:13.07] With a friend by the light and the moon
[02:17.09] So it's hurry, hurry, step right up
[02:20.37] It's a matter of life or death
[02:23.32] Oh, the sun is going down
[02:25.42] And the moon is just holding its breath
[02:31.68] Mama dear, your boy is here
[02:35.16] Far across the sea
[02:38.45] Looking for that sacred core
[02:41.46] That burns inside of me
[02:44.42] And I feel a storm
[02:46.06] And it's wet and warm
[02:47.69] Not ten miles away
[02:50.16] Approaching my Mexican home
[02:57.15] Approaching my Mexican home
[02:59.04] Approaching my Mexican home
[03:01.24]
