Mexican Home - Josh Ritter[00:00:00]

Last night it got so hot I swear[00:00:03]

Couldn't hardly breathe[00:00:07]

And heat lightning burnt the sky[00:00:09]

Like alcohol[00:00:12]

I sat on the porch without my shoes[00:00:15]

And I watched the cars roll by[00:00:18]

As the headlights raced[00:00:21]

To the corner of the kitchen wall[00:00:23]

Mama dear your boy is here[00:00:28]

Far across the sea[00:00:31]

Looking for that sacred core[00:00:34]

That burns inside of me[00:00:36]

And I feel the storm[00:00:39]

It's wet and warm[00:00:41]

Not ten miles away[00:00:43]

Approaching my Mexican home[00:00:46]

Oh my god I cried it's so hot inside[00:00:52]

You could die in your living room[00:00:55]

Take the fan from the window[00:00:58]

Prop the door back with a broom[00:01:00]

The cuckoo clock has died of shock[00:01:04]

And the windows feel no pane[00:01:07]

The air's as as still[00:01:10]

As the throttle of a funeral train[00:01:12]

Mama dear your boy is here[00:01:17]

Far across the sea[00:01:20]

Looking for that sacred core[00:01:24]

That burns inside of me[00:01:26]

And I feel the storm[00:01:29]

It's wet and warm[00:01:31]

Not ten miles away[00:01:32]

Approaching my Mexican home[00:01:36]

And my father died on the porch outside[00:02:05]

Was an august afternoon[00:02:09]

I drank bourbon and cried[00:02:11]

With a friend by the light and the moon[00:02:13]

So it's hurry hurry step right up[00:02:17]

It's a matter of life or death[00:02:21]

Oh the sun is going down[00:02:24]

And the moon is just holding its breath[00:02:25]

Mama dear your boy is here[00:02:33]

Far across the sea[00:02:36]

Looking for that sacred core[00:02:39]

That burns inside of me[00:02:42]

And I feel a storm[00:02:44]

And it's wet and warm[00:02:46]

Not ten miles away[00:02:47]

Approaching my Mexican home[00:02:51]

Approaching my Mexican home[00:02:57]

Approaching my Mexican home[00:03:03]
