Mexican Guitars Lyrics - On The Impossible Past - The Menzingers

You were an old friend 

The kind I could confide in 

And drink with on random neighbors' porch steps 

Our glossy eyes painted portraits of the streets 

You were an old friend 

That covered up your innocence 

With five tattoos of all the bands you loved in high school 

The ones you said that I had to listen to all the time 

I did what I did to get away from this 

Cause everything that's happened has left me a total wreck 

And everything that I do now is meaningless 

So I'm off to wander around the world for a little bit 

Without one hundred channels with nothing on the TV 

And the great pessimistic unknown 

So does anyone know the best way to go? 

Which road that I could take to get to Mexico? 

Cause I'm so sick of living in this ditch 

With only the memory in the back of my head 

I'm on cruise control and the radio was on 

Yeah, they were playing that song 

That we both learned on our Mexican guitars 

I'm on cruise control and the radio was on 

They were playing that song 

That we both learned on our Mexican guitars 

You were my old friend
