She Always Talked About Mexico Lyrics - David Ball

She blew into this old one horse town 

Like something we ain't never seen 

And old Bill hired her at the Sundown Grill 

She tied that apron 'round her jeans 

I started hanging out there every night 

Just to hear her talk and laugh 

I couldn't help but fall in love with her 

I should've known it wouldn't last 

She always talked about Mexico 

I never thought that she would really go 

I felt my love could make her settle down 

I guess I know better now 

She's probably living down there by the sea 

I wonder if she ever thinks of me 

One morning she was gone like the wind 

She won't be back this way again 

Old Bill could tell that I was missing her 

As he poured me a drink 

Said, "If you put a wild bird in a cage 

You'll break its will to sing" 

If that's true then she's better off 

Still out there wild and free 

So I bought straight tequila all around 

Said,"Boy, here's to her memory" 

She always talked about Mexico 

I never thought that she would really go 

I felt my love could make her settle down 

I guess I know better now 

She's probably living down there by the sea 

I wonder if she ever thinks of me 

One morning she was gone like the wind 

She won't be back this way again 

She won't be back this way again 

She won't be back this way again 

Oh back this way again, back this way again
