Just A lowly old man having fun writing songs
Story behind the song
just set down one day and wrote it
Lyrics
Happened in a Little Town ,down in Mexico
At a Small Spanish Bar, With a nice quiet Glow
Ordered up a drink, then I sat down at the Bar
She poured My last Tequilla, in a small Mason Jar
Threw back my head and drank down that last shot
Called to the Bar Keep where can I get a Cot
Tossed her head to the stairs, said room 2 ok?
Grabbed my things then head up to the Last place I would Stay
Paid the bill and climbed the stairs
up to my room
I had thoughts of better days
Hoped they'd come real soon
Didn't know where I was going next
Didn't know where I had Been
But I knew I had To Go
Or I would Sin Again.
Layed Down my Gear at the foot of the bed
Sat down, layed back, pulled the pillow under my head
Closed my eyes and I could see her face in my mind
She"ll be there to haunt me for the rest of all time.
Got up the next morning and went to the Bar
I Looked for the Bar keep knew she could'nt be far
Turned around look to the left then seen him at the door
He pulled his gun and fired a shot and that settled the score
Layed there in a pool of blood
My Life was draining Fast
I Knew what I'd Done
And was paying for my past
Didn't know where I was going next
Didn't know where I had Been
But I knew I had To Go
Or I would Sin Again.
Didn't know where I was going next
Didn't know where I had Been
But I knew I had To Go
Now I"ll never Sin Again.
