Jim James and Calexico - Goin' to Acapulco

Bob Dylan cover from the I'm Not There Soundtrack

Lyrics:

I'm goin'down to Rose Marie's
She never does me wrong
She puts it to me plain as day
And gives it to me for a song

It's wicked life but what the hell
Knows that everybody got to eat
And I just the same as anyone else
When it comes to scratching mye meat

Goin' to Acapulco, goin' on the run
Goin' down to see some girl
Goin' to have some fun, yeah
Goin' to have some fun

Now, whenever I get up
Can't find what I need
I just make it down to Rose Marie's
And get somethin' quick to eat

It's not about way to make a livin'
And I ain't complanin' none
But I can plough my plum and drink my run
And them go on home and have my fun

Goin' to Acapulco, goin' on the run
Goin' down to see some girl
Goin' to have some fun, yeah
Goin' to have some fun

Now, if someone offers me a joke
I just say, "No thanks"
I try to tell it like it is
And keep away from pranks

Now, every time you know when the well breaks down
I just go on and pump it some
Rose Marie, she likes to go to big places
And just sit there waitin' for me to come

Goin' to Acapulco, goin' on the run
Goin' down to see some girl
Goin' to have some fun, yeah
Goin' to have some fun

Best song on the entire soundtrack by far (...and I love the soundtrack).

Sorry Bob. You may have written this song, but Jim James OWNS it.

[Marumasa]

I like to imagine it's Cleveland from Family Guy that's singing it and it makes me smile.

[DeludeMe]

@TheLastNaturalist Don't apologize, James would have nothing to own if it weren't for Dylan...

[TheShakespeareBlues]

I wish this guy would cover all of my own songs.

When Acapulco was awesome !! now is a nest of offenders to say the least

[dude1305]

@TheLastNaturalist I already have The Basement Tapes, but I think I just might go ahead an acquire this soundtrack just so I can hear Jim do this song the way it was meant to be done.

whoa, bro i watched i'm not there in film studies and i saw arcade fire and calexico and my film studies teacher was like calexico are cool hey?

[LalitaShaktas]

Honestly I think Jim James has a better voice than the vocalists of "The Band." I know that is probably like blasphemy for some fans and I mean no offense, I love Bob Dylan and The Band of course...but honestly...wow. This is incredible. Calexico are amazingly talented musicians as well. And great movie. Cate Blanchett was sooo awesome as one of the many fictionalized versions of Dylan. She should have got an Oscar.
