Marty Robbins - Bound For Old Mexico Lyrics
True, I wasn't born anywhere south of the borderAnd I'm not a native to old MexicoBut there's someone there fits my heart as though made to orderAnd it's fittingly proper through these eyes that love her soIf I could just write it of as just mere fascinationThen the problems we face would die where they are and not growBut my will's not contained in the thoughts little minds now are thinkingOh, I'm on my way to old MexicoThere are those who will shame us by openly showing rejectionBut the game must be played in accordance to how the cards fallAnd my life's not dependant on their kind of narrow affectionFor the choice between them would be no choice at allSo the sound of the rails to my ears will be sweet, sweet musicThe longer I hear it, the shorter the time we're apartSoon I will see the span of the Old Rio Grande lay before meAnd the land that gave birth to the girl who now holds my heartI'll be ridin' these same rails in the not too distant futureLife will be so complete for in this very seat soon I knowThere'll be two and not one, for love's will shall be done, good Lord willin'Oh, I'm on my way to old MexicoTo old MexicoTo old Mexico
