She blew into this old one horse town Like something we ain't never seen Old Bill hired her at the Sundown Grill She tied that apron 'round her jeans I started hanging out there every night Just to hear her talk and laugh I couldn't help but fall in love with her I should've known it wouldn't last
She always talked about Mexico I never thought my love could make her settle down I guess I know better now She's probably living down there by the sea I wonder if she ever thinks of me One morning she was gone like the wind She won't be back this way again
Old Bill could tell that I was missing her As he poured me a drink Said if you put a wild bird in a cage You'll break it's will to sing If that's true then she's better off Still out there wild and free So I bought straight tequila all around Said, Boy,here's to her memory
She always talked about Mexico I never thought my love could make her settle down I guess I know better now She's probably living down there by the sea I wonder if she ever thinks of me One morning she was gone like the wind She won't be back this way again
