(David Ball/Wood Newton)
She blew into this old one horse town
Like something we ain`t never seen
Old Bill hired her at the Sundown Grill
She tied that apron `round her jeans
I started hanging out there every night
Just to hear her talk and laugh
I couldn`t help but fall in love with her
I should`ve known it wouldn`t last
She always talked about Mexico
I never thought my love could make her settle down
I guess I know better now
She`s probably living down there by the sea
I wonder if she ever thinks of me
One morning she was gone like the wind
She won`t be back this way again
Old Bill could tell that I was missing her
As he poured me a drink
Said if you put a wild bird in a cage
You`ll break it`s will to sing
If that`s true then she`s better off
Still out there wild and free
So I bought straight tequila all around
Said,"Boy,here`s to her memory"
She always talked about Mexico
I never thought my love could make her settle down
I guess I know better now
She`s probably living down there by the sea
I wonder if she ever thinks of me
One morning she was gone like the wind
She won`t be back this way again
