South Of The Border Lyrics - Divided Highway - The Doobie Brothers

Tom Johnston 

There's a town south of the border 

South of El Paso they say 

Where the nights are long and the winds are warm 

And the women they love to play 

In an old adobe tavern 

Mescal flows like water 

And Rita will dance on your table so fine 

You are bound to place your order

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I don't have to think about it 

I don't have to wonder 

Where I'm going to ride tonight 

I'll be riding down the highway south of the border 

As I ride into town and the dust settles down 

And the mariachi music is playing 

I buy me a room from a guy named Luis 

It's just up the stairs and it's waiting 

Downstairs Rita is dancing 

Just the way her mother has taught her 

So I settle down for the show and a beer 

And wait for that mother's daughter 

I don't have to think about it 

I don't have to wonder 

Where I'm going to ride tonight 

I'll be riding 

Photos 

When the morning comes and I wake up 

To the sounds of the people below 

There's a note on my bed that is easily read 

Buenos dias and a kiss when you go 

As I ride out of town with my face to the sun 

And the dust is trailing behind 

Soon I'll go back to this sleepy old town 

Back where I know I can find 

I don't have to think about it 

I don't have to wonder 

Where I'm going to ride tonight 

I'll be riding down the highway south of the border
