(David Ball/Wood Newton)



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
