about

Written by Mark Anthony Febbo

lyrics

I’m singing the blues for the mariachis
Cause they sing about life, I sing about how it’s not fair

56 miles down that wide-open highway
There’s a small liquor store by the side
of the road
It’s a haven of peace for the broken-hearted
Redemption for the evils we’ve sown
Forty ounces of beer and a couple smokes
All you need to sort out your mind
But sooner or later you’re left
without reason
And it’s back to the highway to hitch a ride
Where do you go when all the creosote
has died?
No more agave nectar you ain’t got
another dime
And Maria says she’s leaving on the
next train
Jesus says God might forgive you just
one more time
I found myself a guitar down in Tucson
Play for change or whatever you can spare
‘Cause I’m singin’ the blues for the
mariachis
They sing about life I sing about how
it’s not fair
Gave my hat to some cutie down on
sixth street
She said she’d dance with me if I bought
her a beer
Well, I never really been too keen on dancin'
So I settled for a smile and a slap
in the face
Where do you go when all the creosote
has died?
No more agave nectar you ain’t got
another dime
And Maria says she’s leaving on the
next train
Jesus says God might forgive you just
one more time
15 miles down that dried up old river
There’s a cottonwood grove by the road It’s a haven of peace for the
broken hearted
Redemption for the evils we’ve sown
Six pack of cans and a long-cut pouch
All you need to sort out your mind
But sooner or later you’re left without
comfort
And it’s back to the highway to
hitch a ride
Where do you go when all the creosote
has died?
No more agave nectar you ain’t got
another dime
And Maria says she’s leaving on the
next train
Jesus says God might forgive you just
one more time
Yeah, Jesus says God might forgive you
just one more time
I’m singing the blues for the mariachis
Cause they sing about life, I sing about how it’s not fair
