Gilby Clarke Tijuana Jail Lyrics

Tijuana Jail Lyrics

Welcome to salvation, my Tequila's my companion for this

evening of oblivion Everyone around me, kinda bores me, it

makes me lonely with the friends I never had Packing up my

Mustang cuz' this city has no heart, it sucks you in and spits

you out Patiently I'm seeking my destination is unknown, I

followed the road down to Mexico



Sorry Mr.Officer I think you got it wrong, I'm just a lonely

ol' Texas boy and I wanna get on home He smiled and said

'senor you're not in Texas anymore' Send my love to my

home but send my mail to a Tijuana Jail



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



Sorry Mr. Officer but I'm gonna get revenge, on this side of

the border 20 pesos get you dead



He smiled and said 'senor I think I'll drink to your threats'

Send my love to my home, but sent my mail to a Tijuana Jail



In my destitution suicides a solution, but I'm a gambler, and

I'm not cashed in The sun is going down and my problems

will be solved by dawn, but not by justice I smelled liquor on

his breath, I knew this is my last chance, I begged give a

dying man his last drink He handed me a glass with just the

worm and he laughed I pulled a switch- blade from my boot

and shoved it in his throat



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 'senor you're not in Texas anymore'

Send my love to my home but send my mail to a Texas Jail.
