boy's town - john baumann lyrics

[verse 1]
rode stolen horses down to mexico one august afternoon
i’ve been working at a guest ranch since the dog days of june
spent a season in a stable taking riders in and out
longing for the woman worth writing home about

[verse 2]
i first met alejandra on a street outside selena’s
blindsided by her beauty and her broken english
i think of her too often, in the flesh, above the covers
it k!lls me to imagine her undressing for another

[chorus]
so i’m going down to boy’s town while i still can
it’s got a reputation, but i don’t give a d*mn
all men have their demons and i’ve got mine
but that’s not why i rode across the rio grande this time
saddle up, stirrups down
i’m going to boy’s town
[verse 3]
i rode down with gordo, dallas, jake, and jack
they’re barkin’ at a crescent moon, drinkin’ whiskey from a flask
on a street south of laredo, countin’ dollars and their dimes
they ask, “why are you so quiet?” i’ve got other things in mind

[chorus]
so i’m going down to boy’s town while i still can
it’s got a reputation, but i don’t give a d*mn
all men have their reasons and i’ve got mine
but i ain’t comin’ back without her by my side this time
saddle up, stirrups down
i’m going to boy’s town

[outro]
i’m going down to boy’s town
going to boy’s town
