Bound For Old Mexico Lyrics - Marty Robbins

True I wasn't born anywhere south of the border and I'm not a native to old Mexico 

But there's someone there makes my heart as though may to order 

And it's fittingly proper through these eyes that lovers show 

If I could just write it off as mere fascination 

Then the problems we face would die where they are and not grow 

But my will's not contained in the thoughts little minds now are thinking 

Oh I'm on my way to old Mexico 

There are those who will shame us by opening showing rejection 

But the game must be played in accordance to how the cards fall 

And my life's not dependant on their kind of narrow affection 

For the choice between them would be no choice at all 

So the sound of the rails to my ears will be sweet sweet music 

The longer I hear it the shorter the time we're apart 

Soon I will see the span of the old Rio Grande lay before me 

And the land that gave birth to the girl who now holds my heart 

I'll be ridin' these same rails in the not too distant future 

Life will be so complete for in this very seat soon I know 

There'll be two and not one for love's will shall be done good Lord willin' 

Oh I'm on my way to old Mexico to old Mexico to old Mexico
