Been homesick for too long

Need to get back to the place I’m from

Where there’s saloons and cattle rustlers

Quick draw six-shooters, and tired old peacemakers

 

It’s a place not many people know

And even less of them want to go

But it’s my beloved desert town

Had to leave to want to come back ’round

 

Give me the sweet smelling tarbush after the rain

Peel me some Agave and I’ll be content to stay

Take me where the sun sets over the Western mesa

Y donde hay la mejor cerveza

 

Horse riding on the levees

I’ll take the four-stroke out for a midnight ride

Rock climbing at the sacred ground

Can see for miles with not a soul around

 

Give me the sweet smelling tarbush after the rain

Peel me some Agave and I’ll be content to stay

Take me where the sun sets over the Western mesa

Y donde hay la mejor cerveza

 

She’s overlooked by most men

That’s why I love her so

Let pass their untrained eyes

She’ll be the place of my birth until I die

 

Give me the sweet smelling tarbush after the rain

Peel me some Agave and I’ll be content to stay

Take me where the sun sets over the Western mesa

Y donde hay la mejor cerveza
