The Road To Ensenada - Lyle Lovett

As I lay sick and broken

Viva mexico

My eyes just wont stay open

And I dream a dream of home

I dream a dream of home

Where theres coffee on the table

And kindness in your hand

Honey Ill help you when Im able

But right now Im feeling bad

Right now Im feeling bad

Listen to your heart that beats

And follow it with both your feet

And as you walk and as you breathe

You aint no friend to me You aint no friend to me The road to ensenada

Is plenty wide and fast

If you head south from tijuana

Then Ill see you at last

Ill see you at last

But my eyes they open slowly

And they look around the room

The old man he seems worried

And there aint no sign of you

There aint 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 aint no friend of me You aint 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

Theyre holding out their hands

Theyre begging me for something lord

But I dont understand

I dont understand

So its adios to alvero

Tell him to stay between the lines

And if he sees that gabriella girl

Tell her Ill look her up next time

Say Ill look her up next time

Because the road to ensenada

Is plenty wide and fast

And this time through tijuana

Well it wont be my last

It wont 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 aint no friend of me You aint no friend of me You aint no friend of me
