1
True, I wasn't born anywhere south of the border
2
And I'm not a native to old Mexico
3
But there's someone there fits my heart as though made to order
4
And it's fittingly proper through these eyes that love her so
5
If I could just write it off as just mere fascination
6
Then the problems we face would die where they are and not grow
7
But my will's not contained in the thoughts little minds now are thinking
8
Oh, I'm on my way to old Mexico
9
There are those who will shame us by openly showing rejection
10
But the game must be played in accordance to how the cards fall
11
And my life's not dependant on their kind of narrow affection
12
For the choice between them would be no choice at all
13
So the sound of the rails to my ears will be sweet, sweet music
14
The longer I hear it, the shorter the time we're apart
15
Soon I will see the span of the Old Rio Grande lay before me
16
And the land that gave birth to the girl who now holds my heart
17
I'll be ridin' these same rails in the not too distant future
18
Life will be so complete for in this very seat soon I know
19
There'll be two and not one, for love's will shall be done, good Lord willin'
20
Oh, I'm on my way to old Mexico
21
To old Mexico
22
To old Mexico
