Adios
When I walk through the doors of these border town bars
It's like walking 30 years back in time
There's dollar, beers and hand-rolled smokes
Cowboys telling gringo jokes
And all I need to keep you off my mind
For a while, I was king of the McGill Hidalgo scene
Howling up at the warm Acuña stars
My new friends drink my wallet dry
And I end up alone each night
Sleeping on the floorboard of my car
Adios
Rio Grande
Adios
My old friend
I'm going back to Texas like an arrow through the wind
So until we meet again, adios
Well, I kissed my Marisol on the day I left for Del Rio
And I pressed my last 20 in her hand
I had no cure for the tears in her eyes
I told her I'd miss her and I did not lie
It's sure good to be headin' home again
Adios
Rio Grande
Adios
My old friend
I'm going back to Texas like an arrow through the wind
So until we meet again, adios
She was midnight, you were mornin'
She was starlight, you were blue hill country sky
As the road rolls out before me
I see you both between the lines
Adios
Adios
I'm going back to Texas like an arrow through the wind
So until we meet again, adios
It's like walking 30 years back in time
There's dollar, beers and hand-rolled smokes
Cowboys telling gringo jokes
And all I need to keep you off my mind
For a while, I was king of the McGill Hidalgo scene
Howling up at the warm Acuña stars
My new friends drink my wallet dry
And I end up alone each night
Sleeping on the floorboard of my car
Adios
Rio Grande
Adios
My old friend
I'm going back to Texas like an arrow through the wind
So until we meet again, adios
Well, I kissed my Marisol on the day I left for Del Rio
And I pressed my last 20 in her hand
I had no cure for the tears in her eyes
I told her I'd miss her and I did not lie
It's sure good to be headin' home again
Adios
Rio Grande
Adios
My old friend
I'm going back to Texas like an arrow through the wind
So until we meet again, adios
She was midnight, you were mornin'
She was starlight, you were blue hill country sky
As the road rolls out before me
I see you both between the lines
Adios
Adios
I'm going back to Texas like an arrow through the wind
So until we meet again, adios
