Bacon Brothers - Ten Years in Mexico

 

 Ten Years in Mexico   * Written by Kevin Bacon

 

Tequila smile and a mango kiss
They've never seen rain quite like this
Give the storm a name watch her blow
She's outside with a sweet surprise
You can't stop her when her waters rise
Open up the door let her flow

 

Chorus

Ten Years in Mexico
Watch them come and I watch them go
Where the time went I don't know
Life and death joy and tears
Ten Years In Mexico

 

I still remember every step so well
Through the graveyard to the cheap hotel
Knowing any moment I might fall
Still a notion in senora's eyes
She sees the ocean and the dragon flies
From the hacienda hear her call

 

Chorus 

 

I ain't learned much
But I learned that love is all
And I learned to count
To ten en espaol
Last night I dreamed of ice and sleet
I dreamed of sidewalks underneath my feet
Woke to find my suitcase by the door
I ask the mountains and the Cortez Sea
How did she come to love a fool like me
But I don't really need the answer any more

 

Chorus
