You Smell Like Mexico (Dedicated to Ed Hart)

One of my original songs that I totally identify with for Emma's contest.

You Smell Like Mexico

 

Got off work at four thirty

Bags are already packed

Fishin’ gear if we need it

Ice chest is in the back

 

Hit the road and she leaned over

But before the kiss

Put her lips softly to my ear

And in a whisper she said

 

You smell like Mexico

Tequila, lime and a beer or so

Sometimes I feel like I sold my soul

To the beaches senoritas down in Mexico

 

Two days since I washed my hair

I only brought one pair of underwear

Sand form the beach is everywhere

Drank enough tequila I don’t really care

 

Popped a handful of Skittles

Took the girl in my arms

She said my breath it smelled fruity

I pulled her close and kissed her hard

 

And she said…..

 

You taste like Mexico

Tequila, lime and a beer or so

Sometimes I feel like I sold my soul

To the beaches senoritas down in Mexico

 

Shooting star and I make a wish

Tide too high didn’t catch no fish

The sun, the sand,  the ocean waves they break

And her eyes so blue that they make me ache

 

Her silhouette in the pale moonlight

The bottle gone much to the neighbors fright

Tequila strips her of her cotton dress

Mexico it gets in your head

 

She looked at me in that moonlight and she said.....

 

You look like Mexico

Tequila, lime and a beer or so

Sometimes I feel like I sold my soul

To the beaches senoritas down in Mexico

 

You smell like Mexico

Tequila, lime and a beer or so

Sometimes I feel like I sold my soul

To the beaches senoritas down in Mexico

 

 

 

Author's Note

If you ever want to hear the song let me know, I play the guitar and sing for it, so there may be vomiting and wailing that ensues soon after. Just ask Cheyenne.

Don't ask me, cause I won't verify his lie. He's a good singer, don't believe him. Love the song...but you know that. Skittles and underwear...weird pair, but it makes me laugh everytime.

I really enjoyed your song.

[Coyote Poetry]

The poem is outstanding. I roam the coastline of Mexico often. I like the flow of the poem. Would be good words for music. A excellent poem.
