mexican home - chris knight lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1: chris knight]
it got so hot last night, i swear
you couldn’t hardly breathe
heat lightning burned the sky like alcohol
i sat on the porch without my shoes
and i watched the car roll by
as the headlights raced
to the corner of the kitchen wall

[chorus: chris knight and john prine]
mother, dear, your boy is here far across the sea
waiting for that sacred coal that burns inside of me
i feel a storm, all wet and warm, not ten miles away
approaching my mexican home

[verse 2: chris knight & john prine]
my god, i cried, it’s so hot inside
you could die in the living room
take the fan from the window
prop the door back with a broom
the cuckoo clock has died of shock
the windows feel no pane
the air’s as still as the throttle on a funeral train

[chorus: john prine]
mama, dear, your boy is here far across the sea
waiting for that sacred coal that burns inside of me
i feel a storm, all wet and warm, not ten miles away
approaching my mexican home

[verse 3: john prine]
my father died on the porch outside
on an august afternoon
i sipped bourbon and cried with a friend
by the light of the moon
so it’s, hurry! hurry! step right up!
it’s a matter of life or death
the sun’s going down
and the moon is just holding its breath

[chorus: chris knight and john prine]
mother, dear, your boy is here far across the sea
waiting for that sacred coal that burns inside of me
i feel a storm, all wet and warm, not ten miles away
approaching my mexican home
approaching my mexican home
