Flyin high on a black top sky
moon shining on the desert tonight
500 miles down the pan american
highway
Leavin Texas broke my heart
but I'm off to a brand new start
they'll be wonderin where I am by
Friday
pre-chorus
I'm checkin out of that same old grind
nothin but blue skies on my mind
back home I know they'll say
we told him not to go but he went anyway
chorus
And he never came back from Mexico
and what he's doin now nobody knows
he left here a long time ago
and he never came back
Takin on a golden glow
on the seashores of Manzanillo
chasin the wind where the sea
meets the Sierra Madre
She runs barefoot in my dreams
a Spanish angel in faded blue jeans
something in her eyes seems to whisper
follow me
pre-chorus
I'm givin up on that 9 to 5
its time I start livin my own damn life
back home I know they'll say
we told him not to go but he went anyway
chorus
bridge
I'll be drinkin that cuervo gold
I'm gettin young before I get old
]they'll say he's in trouble somewhere
hell he must have gone crazy down there
chorus
Well he never came back
he left here a long long time ago
and he never came back from old mexico
no he never came back from mexico
no he never came back from mexico
