Lyrics
We were just out side Salida
On our way down to Mexico
You were telling me a story there
One I thought I heard before
There was something 'bout a good girl
Lost her way out on the road
I was looking for an offramp then
Anyway to get back home
We got lost outside Salida
Never made ol Mexico
I was trying to forgive you
It's not easier to know
I was trying to forget you
It's not easy when you know
