[Intro ]chords:
G Em C D
G D Em
1986 found me in Lubbock
C D
Hub city of the Lone Star state
G D Em
And it was at the airport lounge that I first kissed her
C D
How the hell was I to know my fate
[Refrão] C G
She was just nineteen and wild, she had a sexy smile
G D
And I was twenty-three going on sixteen
C G
And the good times we shared together, Lord knows I?ve known no better
C G C D G
But I guess you?d a had to met her to know just what I mean
G D Em
Lubbock couldn?t hold the likes of our love
C D
So we took off one night in May
G D Em
We set our sights a just little south of El Paso
C D
Made Mexico by the break of day
C
We won some money at the racetrack
G
And she smiled as she laid back
C G C D G
In the back seat of that taxi on the road to chase our dreams
Fiddle Solo
G D Em
Well, the town of Seragosa is a poor one
C D
And a dollar can buy most anything
G D Em
Well, I slipped that judge a wrinkled pair of twenties
C D
In exchange for vows and a wedding ring
C G
And without any hesitation she signed that wedding declaration
C G C D G
And you don?t have to speak Spanish, boys, to know just what that means
G D Em
1986 is long forgotten,
C D
She and I split up and moved apart
G D Em
But the memories that we shared down in old Mexico
C D
Will always be alive in my heart
