Mexico or Crazy Songtext

von Jason Boland & The Stragglers

[Chorus]
Well I might go crazy, I might go to Mexico
You're too far away as far as I can see
I'm just a lonely gringo, a lazy desperado
Oh, Mexico or crazy it's the same to me

I walked half a mile just to call you from a payphone
Every time I tried it you weren't there
I know it's been a while since your lovin' man's been home
Well the wheels and the miles aren't always fair

The sun burned my neck and I could use a shower
Been livin' life on far too little sleep
The rain misses this land the way my breath misses your shoulder
Sometimes what you give away is what you keep

[Chorus]

Rolled the man a dollar, he rode us across the river
It's not as wide as the rift between you and me
But there's a mountain taller the ones here on the Rio
It's hard to climb a hill on bended knee

[Chorus]
