Carmelita Lyrics - Dwight Yoakam

Dwight Yoakam & Flaco Jimenez 

Have you had the static on my radio 

The tubes they glow in the dark 

And I'm there with you in Ensenada 

And I'm here in Echo Park. 

Carmelita, hold me tighter 

Yeah, I think I'm sinking down 

And I'm all strung out on heroin 

On the outskirts of town. 

Well I pawned my smith corona 

And I went down to meet my man 

He hangs out down on Alvarado Street 

At the Pioneer Chicken Stand.

Carmelita, hold me tighter 

Yeah, I think I'm sinking down 

And I'm all strung out on heroin 

On the outskirts of town. 

Well I'm sittin' here playing solitaire 

With my pearl handled deck 

The county won't give me no more methadone 

And they cut off your welfare check. 

Carmelita, hold me tighter 

Yeah, I think I'm sinking down 

And I'm all strung out on heroin 

On the outskirts of town.
