Lyrics

The strange drawings on the walls
Were made by light through holes
In a burlap shade over the window
Where I watched her melt into the night

The reckoning of what we?d done
Came crashing in with the new days sun
A naked bed with the smell of her
And I?m still tight

Chorus: Out here, it?s hard to tell
Exactly where?s the border
But, I?m pretty sure that
Adobe cabin sets in Mexico
She meets me here twice a year
And we love until we disappear
I?m her vaquero la Del Norte
She?s my tequila rose

See her father had this grand design
How she would marry well one of her kind
That she was so in love with the gringo boy
Deeply disturbed her mother

She chose to respect their wishes
The traditions and their superstitions
Though we were lost we could not completely
Deny each other

Chorus: Out here, it?s hard to tell
Exactly where?s the border
But, I?m pretty sure that
Adobe cabin sets in Mexico
She meets me here twice a year
And we love until we disappear
I?m her vaquero la Del Norte
She?s my tequila rose

The full moons in May and December
For twenty-three years
We?ve always remembered
We used to come here horse back
Now days we drive
We don?t talk much or try
To catch up our stories
Time is precious between
Love and glory
Completely satisfied to be
The only ones alive

I always bring a bottle
She brings one glass
We toast one to each other
One to damn the past
One to salute the stars
One to kill the pain
Kiss me hard, or hold me tighter
The fire is burning in our veins

Chorus: Out here, it?s hard to tell
Exactly where?s the border
But, I?m pretty sure that
Adobe cabin sets in Mexico
She meets me here twice a year
And we love until we disappear
I?m her vaquero la Del Norte
She?s my tequila rose

I?m her vaquero la Del Norte
She?s my tequila rose
