I came home from work and I walked through the door

Found another man's clothes laid out on my floor, and I 

just snapped

You tried to explain and I didn't care

I just packed my bags and got the hell out of there, 

and never looked back

With tears in my eyes and a load on my mind

I hit the road, left the heartache behind

Picking up speed, with the wheel in my hand

Bound for the Border, just as hard as I can.



(Chorus)

I'm halfway to Mexico, got a Spanish song on the radio

I'm taking back life with every turn, lost every fear 

and left all concern

Like a tumble weed blowing through the midnight wind

I don't know when I'll be coming back again


Got a few more thoughts and a hundred miles to go

I'm halfway to Mexico.



Maybe, I'll get a job at a Mexican bar

Drink shots of Tequila, while I play my guitar, all 

night long

Buy a sombrero, get a tattoo

I'll do what I can to forget about you and I'll move on

Work on my tan, maybe start a new life

A young Senorita would make a good wife

It won't be long now and I'll be all right

I'm making my way as I drive through the night.



(Repeat Chorus)



There's a town down on the Border, where the cowboys 

stay

Where time moves slow and memories fade away.



(Repeat Chorus)



I'm halfway to Mexico.
