Lyrics for Old Mexico

I took a trip down to Old Mexico I was lookin' for some fun and laughter I met a woman said gimme your money And I'll show you everything your after I was taken to a sleazy room And she handed me a Mexican cocktail When I woke up in the mornin' light I was a locked in the county jail (Chorus) I was broke I was busted I was broke I was busted Paid the man some to set me free And I headed for the borderline Cross the frontier and I drove like the devil Tryin' to get back to the shack that was mine "Pull over son" said the man with the gun "I believe your breakin' the law" Open the trunk and my heart just sunk I knew they gotta had it for sure (Chorus) I was broke I was busted I was broke I was busted Guitar riff (Chorus) I was broke Mama mama I was busted I was broke Yeah, yeah, yeah Mama, mama, mama, mama.mama, mama.mama... Improv and guitar out...
