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 there's coffee on the table And kindness in your hand Honey I'll help you when I'm able But right now I'm feeling bad Right now I'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
The road to Ensenada Is 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 he seems worried And there ain't no sign of you There 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 of me You ain't no friend of me
You can offer to the righteous The good that you have won But down here among the unclean Your good work just comes undone Your good work 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 Alvero Tell him to stay between the lines And if he sees that Gabriella girl Tell her I'll look her up next time Say I'll look her up next time
Because the road to Ensenada Is 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 of me You ain't no friend of me You ain't no friend of me
