Chorus:

Oh Carmen, I had too much tequila

Between you and this Mexican moon I'm gonna fall

El Paso lady, you're driving me crazy

In a language I don't understand, you said it all.



Dusty old Juarez on the old Rio Grande

It's sure is handy when you need a friend

I don't belong here, your dark eyes keep warning

I'll leave in the morning but for now please let me in.



Chorus:

Oh Carmen, I had too much tequila

Between you and this Mexican moon I'm gonna fall

El Paso lady, you're driving me crazy

In a language I don't understand, you said it all.



--- Instrumental ---



Crossing over the border, stepping over the line

Drunk on yesterdays wine and still feeling the flame

The guitars keep playing a song that I've never heard

Without saying a word, you keep calling out my name.



Chorus:

Oh Carmen, I had too much tequila

Between you and this Mexican moon I'm gonna fall

El Paso lady, you're driving me crazy

In a language I don't understand, you said it all.



In a language I don't understand, you said it all...
