We were south of the border in Mexico
On our way to Rosarita by the side of the road
There was a dirt cantina where the drinks were free
And every shot went down like gasoline
Went from a five-minute stop to a drunk all nighter (la-la, la-la, la, la-la, la-la, la)
She was a dancing habanero
Every caballero wanted to ride her
And now I can't find her
I left my girl in Tijuana
And now I'm never gonna find her
Last thing I remember we were throwing back tequila
I left my girl in Tijuana
And now I'm never gonna find her
Last thing I remember we were throwing back tequila
All I ever wanted was a quiet weekend
Now all these federal is all around me and they're asking me questions
And as they lock me away, all I can say is my only regret (la-la, la-la, la, la-la, la-la, la)
Is that I wish I had a camera when she made out with those señoritas
Que loca mi vida
I left my girl in Tijuana
And now I'm never gonna find her
Last thing I remember we were throwing back tequila
I left my girl in Tijuana
And now I'm never gonna find her
Last thing I remember we were throwing back tequila
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, locked up and can't get home
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, where did my baby go?
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, locked up and can't get home
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, where did my baby go?
Last thing I remember we were throwing back tequila
I left my girl in Tijuana (la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, locked up and can't get home)
I left my girl in Tijuana (la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, where did my baby go?)
We were throwing back tequila
I left my girl in Tijuana (la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, locked up and can't get home)
And now I'm never gonna find her, find her
Last thing I remember we were throwing back tequila
