Jack Tempchin - Tijuana Lyrics

Well, I got lost on my way home from Tijuana
I didn't think highway five went that far
But I had to stop someplace and get directions
And I guess that's how I wound up in this bar.

Now I'm stuck in this bar 'Cause I can't find my car
I'm wishing on a star like a fool
I need a dime for the phone I wish I was home
The lonesome night can be so cruel.

Well, I lost all my paycheck playing eight ball
Foxy waitress made a rail shot one time.
I bet her that she couldn't do it again.
And that's when I lost my last dime.

And now I'm stuck in this bar 'Cause I can't find my car
I'm wishing on a star like a fool
I need a dime for the phone God, I wish I was home
The lonesome night can be so cruel.

Well, this reminds me of the time We were drinkin' Red Mountain wine
In the back of a Volkswagen bus
And I wound up in Jail with no one to go my bail
But at least, I knew where I was
