I got dust on my tennis shoes

Couple empty bottles of beer

They were called Modelo

They were made in Mexico

They were pretty good
I got a jar full of pennies
Nickels, quarters, and dimes
I gave the orders
Don’t you take my quarters
She gets them every time

She’s my lady

Drive each other crazy

It don’t matter what you say
D G
She’ll be standing right by my side
I stayed out late last night at a friend’s garage
Until 2:00am
We were listening to the stones
Smoking a couple bowls
Taking it all in
I only told her I’d be gone a little while
Said baby don’t you worry none
She was mad as hell
I came in and fell
Right back in love
I got dust on my tennis shoes
Couple empty bottles of beer
They were called Modelo
They were made in Mexico
They were pretty good
