A little bar across the tracks, on the Tex-Mex side of town
I was told this where the best Tejano in Texas is found
A pretty young senorita with long wavy black hair
She had her eyes on me from the moment, that I got there
She was dancing and twirling on a around a little dance floor
Then she asked me to slow dance but her body said she wanted more
She started to kiss me I heard the crash of chair
This guy was her husband she acted like he wasn’t there
He slapped her and yelled “puta”, which I know is Spanish for whore
But she just spit in his face, and knocked his drink to the floor
As he pulled out a knife, I saw a Policeman come in
Thought I was saved, but the Cop was one of his friends
Next morning she posted my bail, the least she could do
She said “you got to get even when your man is cheating on you”
We drove to a pawn shop and sold, the all his toys for a song
She said “We’ll take all his money & party till its all gone
Her uncle had a cabina in Reynosa, where we could stay
We made love on the back porch and drank Margarita’s all day
But the first Sunday morning, her guilt start to set in
She ran to the Padre and confessed all of her sins
With the church bells still ringing, she threw out all of my clothes
She cussed me in Spanish, and told me, I had to go”
Here I am walking with my thumb in the air
Which direction to go, this gringo, don’t really care
Beware of the women, who use you just to do wrong
And not be a victim of another Tejano Love Song
