Hey tell 'em about it T-man
Me and some buddies were workin' down Lubbock
Lookin' for somethin' to do
Somebody had the bright idea
To cross the border and have us a few
It all started off with some cold Coronas
Tequila, salt and line
Four senoritas and an El Camino
Wanted to have a good time
You can say that you've been all around the world
And you've got a lot of stories to tell
But I bet you next months rent that you never spent
A weekend in Mexican jail
Aye-aye-aye-aye if you can't make bail
It's a weekend in Mexican jail (Arriba!)
We all piled in and left the cantina
Behind us in a cloud of dust
She was drivin' so fast we didn't even notice
Blue lights chasin' us
Then he showed me the badge
Said somethin' in Spanish
Whatever it was, it wasn't good
And all I remember were those handcuffs clickin'
And my face on the dusty hood
You can say that you've been all around the world
And got a lot of stories to tell
But I bet you next months rent
That you never spent
A weekend in Mexican jail
Aye-aye-aye-aye if you can't make bail
It's a weekend in Mexican jail
(Can somebody play somethin' hot on that six string)
(Hey if you fall a little short on faith, Susan)
(You get this next round)
(Woo-hoo-hoo)
(Can tell what happens right here)
Yeah, south of the border looks warm in pictures
But believe me the nights get cold
But if you go, don't run off with the Federale's daughter
'Cause you might not make it home
Yeah, unfortunately I know
You can say that you've been all around the world
And got a lot of stories to tell
But I bet you next months rent
That you never spent
A weekend in Mexican jail
Aye-aye-aye-aye if you can't make bail
It's a weekend in Mexican jail
(What do y'all say we come back next weekend?)
(I don't think Trey ever left)
(Can't believe y'all left me here)
