South to Mexico

Say it out loud
Say it now
Don't make it harder
Don't try to disavow
What you brought about when you went out of town
Just give me a week to pull myself together somehow

Then I'm packing up, heading down
to Tucson or even further south
where I'll be alone but I won't be without
If I don't find the sun in Mexico
Then I'll just keep this show on the road
At least there I know I'm home

I ain't the one you can fall back on
When that boy lets you down
When winter ends and he's gone
And you remember the dawns we shared
The laughing in bed, going nowhere
In a time and place that you have made foregone

By then I'll be far, heading down
To Tucson or even further south
Where I'll be alone but I won't be without
If I don't find the sun in Mexico
I'll just keep this show on the road
At least there I know I'm home

Just to state my case
I never lied
I only gave and gave and gave
So it's me that'll be hard for you to replace
And I'll leave this song along the way
So later as my steps you try to retrace
You'll know the trail will go cold before you can even see my face
Cause I'm south of the border, out of reach
No longer tied up on your leash
Relieved and free on the road alone
Relieved and free on the road alone
Relieved and free on the road alone
