Heading down to mexico just looking to escape,
i've had it with this city what's this city done for me?
Go find myself an old canteen and laid down on the road
don't anybody see me anymore?
take me as i am 'cause it's a long way home
don't forget to wake me when you go (x2)
those desert sounds they came around and i was dancing in my dreams
that southern comfort dug right in and brought me to my knees
i have told the same tall tale many times before
don't anybody hear them anymore?
take me as i am 'cause it's a long way home
don't forget to wake me when you go (x2)
take me as i am
take me as i am 'cause it's a long way home
don't forget to wake me when you go (x3)
take me as i am
