Lyrics: Lyle Lovett
Music: Lyle Lovett
As I lay sick and broken
Viva Mexico
My eyes just won't stay open
And I dream a dream of home
I dream a dream of home
Where coffee's on the table
And there's kindness in your hand
Honey I'll help you rightly
But right now I'm feeling bad
Right now l'm feeling bad
Listen to your heart that beats
And follow it with both your feet
And as you walk and as you breathe
You ain't no friend to me
You ain't no friend to me
And the road to Ensenada
ls plenty wide and fast
If you head south from Tijuana
Then I'll see you at last
I'll see you at last
But my eyes they open slowly
And they look around the room
The old man seems worried
And there ain't no sign of you
Ain't no sign of you
Listen to your heart that beats
And follow it with both your feet
And as you walk and as you breathe
You ain't no friend to me
You ain't no friend to me
You can offer to the righteous
All the good that you have won
But down here among the unclean
The good just comes undone
The good just comes undone
The sisters at the borderline
They're holding out their hands
They're begging me for something Lord
But I don't understand
I don't understand
So it's adios to Alvarado
Tell him to stay between the lines
And if he sees that Gabriella gir
Tell her I'll look her up next time
I'll look her up next time
Because the road to Ensenada
ls plenty wide and fast
And this time through Tijuana
Well, it won't be my last
It won't be my last
Listen to your heart that beats
And follow it with both your feet
And as you walk and as you breathe
You ain't no friend to me
You ain't no friend to me
oh,You ain't no friend to me
