Lyrics

Señorita
Greenberg/Harpeth Rising

Here in the Casa Felicidad, the girls look so good they make you feel so sad
I met some tequila but now I'm drinkin' alone
I don't dig the lingo but I heard my name, driver gone missin' in the Mexican rain
And the lost and found don't work like it does back home

Señorita, every lie holds a promise
It's on the edge of your eyes, I know you know it's true
Señorita, you know I come by it honest
There are men like me because there are women like you

I left my rig in the pilot last night, took the grey ghost across to the other side
Here in the Casa Felicidad everyone smiles
The girls are sweet and you feel so sad when they take all your money and you know you been had
And the dust of the Mexican twilight shines in their eyes

Señorita, every lie holds a promise
It's on the edge of your eyes, and your black hair too
Señorita, you know I come by it honest
There are men like me because there are women like you

Pedro wants his cut right now, I know he's gonna get some but I'm not sure how
And the boys in the back room, they're grinnin' like a shiv in the rain
The Federales look the other way while me and Pedro we have our stay
And the Spanish guitar plays soft while the little boy sings

Señorita, every lie holds a promise
Every promise lies broken, even death don't come cheap
Señorita, you know I come by it honest
There are women like you because there are men like me

I'm hammered down in the Mexican night, lost in Nuevo Laredo and I'm high as a kite
The girls in the Casa Felicidad, they're drinkin' alone
I still can't shake off the way she moves and this cold Cochlea always give me the blues
And this cheap tequila is callin' the cards on my brain

Señorita, every lie holds a promise
Every promise lies broken, and we're always too late
Señorita, you know I come by it honest
I promise I'll come back if you promise to wait
