Laid back in an old saloon, with a peso in my hand Watchin' flies and children on the street And I catch a glimpse of black-eyed girls who giggle when I smile There's a little boy who wants to shine my feetAnd it's three days ride from Bakersfield and I don't know why I came I guess I came to keep from payin' dues So instead I've got a bottle and a girl who's just fourteen And a damn good case of the Mexicali Blues YehIs there anything a man don't stand to lose When the devil wants to take it all away? Cherish well your thoughts, and keep a tight grip on your booze 'Cause thinkin' and drinkin' are all I have todayShe said her name was Billy Jean and she was fresh in town I didn't know a stage line ran from hell She had raven hair, a ruffled dress, a necklace made of gold All the french perfume you'd care to smellShe took me up into her room and whispered in my ear Go on, my friend, do anything you choose Now I'm payin' for those happy hours I spent there in her arms With a lifetime's worth of the Mexicali Blues, yehIs there anything a man don't stand to lose When the devil wants to take it all away? Cherish well your thoughts, and keep a tight grip on your booze 'Cause thinkin' and drinkin' are all I have todayAnd then a man rode into town, some thought he was the law Billy Jean was waitin' when he came She told me he would take her, if I didn't use my gun I'd have no one but myself to blameI went down to those dusty streets, blood was on my mind I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news 'Cause I shot first and killed him, Lord, he didn't even draw And he made me trade the gallows for the Mexicali Blues,yehIs there anything a man don't stand to lose When he lets a woman hold him in her hands? He just might find himself out there on horseback in the dark Just ridin' and runnin' across those desert sands
