Story behind the song
I wrote this at about 2am one morning when I couldn't sleep because this kept going through my head. I had just got back from a trip to West Texas (Terlingua) and it was a spritual experience for me. Met a lot of new friends, played music on the porch of the Trading Company overlooking the Chiso Mountains of Big Bend National Park. This was prior to 9/11 and a visitor could still cross the river and visit the small Mexican villages. I am so sorry all that changed!
Lyrics
Have you ever been out in West Texas
Where ocotillo and cane choya grow
And the Rio Grande flows there
On the border of Old Mexico
(chorus)
Let's sing tonight in the desert
From the porch where the warm breezes blow
We'll raise our voices with friends there
Feeling touched down in our soul
Pay a visit to Boquillas del Carmen
To cross the river I'll take a boat
Have me a shot of Tequila
Trade some songs with the Mexican folks
Chorus
Hear a song by Pablo Minuto
I sure like those songs that he sings
Guess he could go on for hours
Truth is that ain't a bad thing
chorus
Come evening I'll be in that ghost town
Under stars to many to count
Away from my tensions I drift now
As guitars ring and voices sing out
chorus
