From Mexico (by: Mark Walker, copyright 2009)

F G (repeat)
How cold of you to leave in winter
And head south for that warm sun
This old man left starring at your picture
His heart an empty gun

The clock on the wall says tick-tock
But his season won't change
His basement door has a lock
But in his head he's shared some blame...


Am Em
If you see a girl with cold blue eyes
F G (walk:C-B-Am)
On the beaches of old Mexico
Am E
Tell her true that the ice in my viens
F G
Will melt if she comes home F G
From Mexico...

Now I've lived here in this same worn down town
North of those Black Hills
I've worked on land and suffered my labor
Paying the government bills

Time has come to move away
You said it wouldn't be with me
I've grown to love this two-horse town
And the winter in Calgary

(Repeat chorus)
