Day before my birthday me and my cousin DaveDrove his truck down to the borderAnd we hitchhiked the rest of the wayDown through MexicoIn the beginning we didn't have much luckSo we took all our things up upon a busIt cost us three dollars just to get half wayDown through Baja CaliforniaWe spent the night in a cheap hotelFourteen dollars, didn't sleep so wellAnd the morning came with bells onAnd I took to the road with my cousinDown through MexicoWe hitched a ride from an old pickupAnd climbed in with the chickens in the back of the truckI got to Tijuana by the middle of the dayJust in time to celebrate my twenty-first birthdayChorus:Well I'm a million miles away from homeAnd I can't find a telephoneMy folks don't even know where I amHell I don't even know where I amLetras de cancionesWell I'm a million miles away from homeAnd I can't find a telephoneMy folks don't even know where I amHell I don't even know where I amWe got something to eat and then we took to the barsA bottle of tequila and two fat cigarsWe painted the town some sort of redAt some point a train drove through my headDown in MexicoWell at Five-AM we're still on our feetA cop pulls over to the side of the streetHe said something to me I couldn't understandAnd threw me in the wagon, took the bottle from my handWell I'm still in the wagon at Six-AMAnd I don't have a clue where I amI don't speak Spanish all that wellI'm out of cash, and I'm drunk as hell(Chorus)Day after my birthdayMe and my cousin DaveDrove his truck home from the borderThrough CaliforniaHome from Mexico From Letras Mania
