[Chorus]
Well I might go crazy, I might go to Mexico
You're too far away as far as I can see
I'm just a lonely gringo, a lazy desperado
Mexico or crazy, it's the same to me
[Verse 1]
I walked half a mile just to call you from a payphone
Every time I tried it you weren't there
I know it's been a while since your lovin' man's been home
Well the wheels and the miles aren't always fair
[Verse 2]
The sun burned my neck and I could use a shower
Been livin' life on far too little sleep
The rain misses this land like my breath misses your shoulder
Sometimes what you give away is what you keep
[Chorus]
So I might go crazy, I might go to Mexico
You're too far away as far as I can see
I'm just a lonely gringo, a lazy desperado
Mexico or crazy, it's the same to me
[Verse 3]
Rolled the man a dollar, he rode us 'cross the river
It's not as wide as the rift 'tween you and me
But there's a mountain taller the ones here on the rio
It's hard to climb a hill on bended knee
[Chorus]
Well I might go crazy, I might go to Mexico
You're too far away as far as I can see
I'm just a lonely gringo, a lazy desperado
Mexico or crazy, it's the same to me
