Carmen

Words and music by Steve Spurgin

O Carmen, I’ve had too much tequila.
Between you and this Mexican moon I’m gonna fall.
El Paso lady, you’re driving me crazy.
In a language I don’t understand — you said it all.
Dusty old Juarez on the old Rio Grande’
It sure is handy — if you need a friend.
I don’t belong here, your dark eyes keep warning.
I’ll leave in the morning, but for know just let me in.
O Carmen, I’ve had too much tequila.
Between you and this Mexican moon I’m gonna fall.
El Paso lady, you’re driving me crazy.
In a language I don’t understand — you said it all.
Crossing over the border, stepping over the line,
Drunk on yesterday’s wine and still feeling the flame.
The guitars are playing a song that I’ve never heard.
Without saying a word, you keep calling my name.
O Carmen, I’ve had too much tequila.
Between you and this Mexican moon I’m gonna fall.
"No tengo lugar aqui, tus ojos me cautionan.
Salgo en la mañana, por ahora deja me entrar,"
O Carmen, I’ve had too much tequila.
Between you and this Mexican moon I’m gonna fall.
"Senorita de El Paso, me causas poner loco."
In a language I don’t understand — you said it all..
