Mexican Home (Live)

[Verse 1]

Well, it got so hot last night, I swear you couldn't hardly breathe

Heat lightning burned the sky like alcohol

I sat on my porch without my shoes and I watched the cars roll by

As the headlights raced to the corner of the kitchen wall

[Chorus]

Mama dear, your boy is here, far across the sea

Waiting for that sacred coal that burns inside of me

And I feel a storm all wet and warm not ten miles away

Approaching my Mexican home

[Verse 2]

Oh my God, I cried, it's so hot inside you could die in the living room

Take the fan from the window, prop the door back with a broom

Well, the cuckoo clock has died of shock and thе windows feel no pain

And the air's as still as the throttle on a funеral train

[Chorus]

Mama dear, your boy is here, far across the sea

Waiting for that sacred coal that burns inside of me

And I feel a storm all wet and warm not ten miles away

Approaching my Mexican home

[Verse 3]

Well, my father died on the porch outside on an August afternoon

I sipped bourbon and cried with a friend by the light of the moon

So it's hurry, hurry, step right up, it's a matter of life or death

Well, the sun's going down and the moon is just holding its breath

[Chorus]

Mama dear, your boy is here, far across the sea

Waiting for that sacred coal that burns inside of me

And I feel a storm all wet and warm not ten miles away

Approaching my Mexican home

[Refrain]

All approaching my Mexican home

All approaching my Mexican home
