Ever since I was 17
I heard that whistle blow
Calling out in the dark
To a place that I don't know
Got no time to waste
I'm getting out of line
I know where I'm spending my last dime
California, Mexico
I dreamt this nightmare long ago
If these tires will hold
Think I'm coming home
Last call till Mexico
Had a woman in Tupelo
She's always on my mind
I told her I'd have to go
Now she's a memory I left behind
Oh darling don't you run cuz you can't follow me
I'm a wanted man and I'll always be
California, Mexico
Dreamt this nightmare long ago
If these tires will hold
Think I'm coming home
Last call till Mexico
Ohh ohh ooh
Ohh ohh ohh ohh
California, Mexico
Dreamt this nightmare long ago
If these tires will hold
Think I'm coming home
Last call till Mexico
