Mexican Coke

There she was twenty, I was maybe half
Had a gold tooth and a smokey laugh
And I remember being somewhere
With my momma when she walked by

Had a brother that would stare me down
Ran with the dirty boys in a bigger town
Had a tattoo of his mama and a tear comin' outta her eye

You made all the other honeys look so bad
Everything I wanted nothing I'd ever had

Mexican coke, Mexican coke
Baby so sweet make me wanna choke
Come a come a put your sugar lips on me
I gotta know
Get me get me high
When I feel low it's a damn shame you're never gonna know
I ain't a boy no more and I'm ready
Mexican coke

She would dance for money down at The Lime
Slapping lonely men that get out of line
When I was old enough to drive I begged the owner there to gimme a job
She was crying on the curb one night
I asked her if she needed a ride
She mumbled something Spanish as she followed me across the lot

Do you remember me wantin' to kiss you bad
Everything I wanted
Nothing I'd ever had

Mexican coke, Mexican coke
Baby so sweet make me wanna choke
Come a come a put your sugar lips on me
I gotta know
Get me get me high
When I feel low it's a damn shame you're never gonna know
I ain't a boy no more and I'm ready
Mexican coke
