The Road to Ensenada

(Lovett)



As I lay sick and broken

Viva Mexico

My eyes just won't stay open

And I dream a dream of home

I dream a dream of home



Where there's coffee on the table

And kindness in your hands

Honey I'll help you when I'm able

But right now I'm feelin' bad...

Right now I'm feelin' bad



Listen to your heart that beats

And follow it with both your feet

And as you walk and as you breathe

You ain't no friend of me...

You ain't no friend of me



The road to Ensenada

Is plenty wide and fast

If you head south from Tijuana

I'll see you at last...

I'll see you at last



But my eyes they open slowly

And look around the room

The old man he seems worried

And their ain't no sign of you...

There ain't no sign of you



Listen to your heart that beats

And follow it with both your feet

And as you walk and as you breathe

You ain't no friend of me...

You ain't no friend of me



You can offer to the righteous

The good that you have won

But down here among the unclean

Your good work just comes undone...

Your good work just comes undone



The sisters at the borderline

They're holding out their hands

They're begging me for something Lord

But I don't understand...

I don't understand



So it's adios to Alvero

Tell him to stay between the lines

And if he sees that Gabriella girl

Tell her I'll look her up next time...

Say I'll look her up next time



Because the road to Ensenada

Is plenty wide and fast

And this time through Tijuana

Well it won't be my last...

It won't be my last



Listen to your heart that beats

And follow it with both your feet

And as you walk and as you breathe

You ain't no friend of me

You ain't no friend of me

No you ain't no friend of me
