D5 A5 Riff
I'm just a lonely ol' Texas boy and I wanna get on home
F#5 A5 B5 D5
He smiled and said "senor you're not in Texas anymore"
C5 B5 A5 F#5
Send my love to my home but send my mail to a Ti--jua--na Jail
[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 a*s,
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.
