Mexican Girl

(album: That Lucky Old Sun - 2008)

Hey, Mexican girl
A dahlia in your hair
The soul of Los Feliz where laughter fills the air
Won't you make me smile
Light up my sundial
Girl, you cast a net
On the day we met
Mexican, Mexican, Mexican girl
Danced her way into my world

Hey, Mexican girl, with eyes of burning fire
Heal me with your passion
Inspire me to inspire

Loyal and strong, yet tender as a song
Help me understand, make me a better man
Mexican, Mexican, Mexican girl
Danced her way into my world

Hey, bonita muchacha
Don't you know that I want ya?
Hey, bonita muchacha
I need to know that I got ya

You have my sacred heart
We'll finish at the start
Can you picture me
In your family tree?

Mexican, Mexican, Mexican girl
