Mexicali Blues [Live at Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark 4/16/1972[00:00:00]

Laid back in an old saloon[00:00:18]

With a peso in my hand[00:00:19]

Watchin' flies and children on the street[00:00:22]

And I catch a glimpse of black-eyed girls[00:00:26]

Who giggle when I smile[00:00:28]

There's a little boy who wants to shine my feet[00:00:30]

And it's three days ride from bakersfield[00:00:34]

And I don't know why I came[00:00:36]

I guess I came to keep from payin' dues[00:00:39]

So instead I've got a bottle[00:00:43]

And a girl whos just fourteen[00:00:45]

And a damn good case of the mexicali blues yeh[00:00:47]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:00:53]

When the devil wants to take it all away[00:00:57]

Cherish well your thoughts[00:01:01]

And keep a tight grip on your booze[00:01:03]

Cause thinkin' and drinkin' are all I have today[00:01:05]

She said her name was billy jean[00:01:27]

And she was fresh in town[00:01:29]

I didn't know a stage line ran from he'll[00:01:31]

She had raven hair a ruffled dress[00:01:35]

A necklace made of gold[00:01:38]

All the french perfume you'd care to smell[00:01:40]

She took me up into her room[00:01:45]

And whispered in my ear[00:01:47]

Go on my friend do anything you choose[00:01:49]

Now I'm payin' for those happy hours[00:01:53]

I spent there in her arms[00:01:55]

With a lifetimes worth of the mexicali blues[00:01:58]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:02:03]

When the devil wants to take it all away[00:02:07]

Cherish well your thoughts[00:02:11]

And keep a tight grip on your booze[00:02:13]

Cause thinkin' and drinkin' are all I have today[00:02:15]

And then a man rode into town[00:02:38]

Some thought he was the law[00:02:40]

Billy jean was waitin' when he came[00:02:42]

She told me he would take her[00:02:47]

If I didn't use my gun[00:02:49]

I'd have no one but myself to blame[00:02:51]

I went down to those dusty streets[00:02:55]

Blood was on my mind[00:02:58]

I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news[00:03:00]

Cause I shot first and killed him[00:03:04]

Lord he didn't even draw[00:03:06]

And he made me trade the gallows[00:03:09]

For the mexicali blues[00:03:11]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:03:14]

When he let's a woman hold him in her hands[00:03:18]

He just might find himself out there[00:03:22]

On horseback in the dark[00:03:24]

Just ridin' and runnin' across those desert sands[00:03:27]
