Mexican Guitars lyrics



you were an old friend
 the kind i could confide in
 and drink with on random neighbors' porch steps
 our glossy eyes painted portraits of the streets

you were an old friend
 that covered up your innocence
 with five tattoos of all the bands you loved in high school
 the ones you said that i had to listen to all the time

i did what i did to get away from this
 'cause everything that's happened has left me a total wreck
 and everything that i do now is meaningless
 so i'm off to wander around the world for a little bit
 without one hundred channels with nothing on the tv
 and the great pessimistic unknown



so does anyone know the best way to go?
 which road that i could take to get to mexico?
 'cause i'm so sick of living in this ditch
 with only the memory in the back of my head
 i'm on cruise control and the radio was on
 yeah, they were playing that song
 that we both learned on our mexican guitars
 i'm on cruise control and the radio was on
 they were playing that song
 that we both learned on our mexican guitars
 on our mexican guitars
 on our mexican guitars
 on our mexican guitars
 on our mexican guitars
 you were my old friend
