B5 - Mexico Way - Bill Staines - 1979 The Whistle Of The Jay album

   • 1979 Whistle Of The Jay - Bill Staines   Mexico Way I wrote this song a long time ago, but it still remains a favorite of mine. - Bill Staines I was picking guitar In a small Texas bar And the people were watching me play, When I spotted here eyes, Bit as old souther skies That hung over Mexico way. I was singing this song About how I'd been done wrong And she smiled at the words that I'd say. I knew in my head She understood what I said, Down by Mexico way. We walked and walked, And talked and we talked, She sang songs to me through the night. She played my guitar And my thoughts wandered far, And I held her so close and so tight. Now I'm leaving town, My head spinning 'round, Bound for some other city to play, But I'll always care For the lady who's there, Down by Mexico way. (repeat last vers)
