Tijuana Jail

[Verse 1]

Welcome to salvation, my tequila's my companion

For this evening of oblivion

See, everyone around me kinda bores me

It makes me lonely, with the friends I never had

I'm packing up my Mustang 'cause this city has no heart

It sucks you in, and it spits you out

Patiently I'm seeking, a destination is unknown

I followed the road down to Mexico

[Pre-Chorus]

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, "Señor, you're not in Texas anymore"

[Chorus]

Send my love to my home, but send my mail

To Tijuana jail

[Verse 2]

I was 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, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

Sorry Mr. Officer, but I'm gonna get revenge

On this side of the border 20 pesos get you dead

He smiled and said, "Señor, I think I'll drink to your threats"

[Chorus]

Send my love to my home, but send my mail

To Tijuana jail

[Solo]

[Verse 3]

In my destitution, suicide's a solution

And I'm a gambler, and I'm not cashed in

You see, the sun is going down and my problems will be solved

By dawn, but not by justice

I smelled liquor on his breath and I knew this was my last chance

I begged, "Give a dying man his last drink"

He handed me the glass with just the worm and then he laughed

I pulled a switchblade from my boot

And shoved it in his throat

[Pre-Chorus]

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, "Señor, you're not in Texas anymore"

[Chorus]

Send my love to my home, but send my mail

To a Texas jail
