(C5-B5-A5-F#5) x3
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
SOLO
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
switchblade 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.
