broken friend - merle haggard lyrics

[verse]
i left, out of tucson, with no destination in mind
i was running from trouble and the jail-term the judge had in mind
and the border meant freedom, a new life, romance
and that’s why i thought i should go
and start my life over on the seash0r-s of old mexico
my first night in juarez, lost all the money i had
one bad senorita made use of one innocent lad
but i must keep on running; it’s too late to turn back
i’m wanted in tucson, i’m told
yeah, an’ thins will blow over on the seash0r-s of old mexico
two mexican farmers en route to a town i can’t say
let me ride on the back of a flatbed half-loaded with hay
down through durango, colima, almeria
then in the manzanillos
where i slept on the seash0r-s of old mexico
after one long siesta, i came wide awake in the night
i was startled by someone who shadowed the pale moonlight
my new-found companion, one young senorita
who offered a broken h-llo
to the gringo she found on the seash0r-s of old mexico
she spoke of sonora and swore that she’d never return
for her mexican husband, she really had no great concern
because she loved the gringo, my red hair and lingo
that’s all i needed to know
yeah, i found what i needed on the seash0r-s of old mexico

[outro]
yeah, she loved the gringo, my red hair and lingo
that’s all i needed to know, ha, ha
yeah, i found what i needed on the seash0r-s of old mexico
