Abby Anderson - Heart On Fire In Mexico Acoustic Piano Vocal Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She was a dark haired Juarez beauty
Flirtin' with the G.I. Joe off duty
Workin’ him for tips at a bar in Mexico
One cigarette smoke break by the back door
Turned into a pack on the hood of his Ford
Where he is now, the devil knows
A late night 2 AM mistake
But sometimes one time is all it takes
Won't be long now 'fore she starts to show

[Chorus]
Can you smell that smoke?
Driftin’ in the desert wind to San Anton'
A wild-eyed señorita becomes a desperate mamacita
You had to go leave a heart on fire in Mexico

[Post-Chorus]
Mm, mm, mm

[Verse 2]
Turns out all the big dreams she had
Didn't look like feedin' mouths on food stamps
So one night, she up and drove away
And that baby girl she left survivin'
One day got real tired of cryin'
Grew up mad as hell and countin' down the days
[Chorus]
Oh, can you smell that smoke?
Driftin' in the desert wind to San Anton’
A wild-eyed señorita becomes a desperate mamacita
You had to go leave a heart on fire in Mexico

[Post-Chorus]
Mm, mm
In Mexico
Mm

[Bridge]
No one to care, nowhere to go
But in and out of foster homes
She had a dream that burned and she made it out
Rolled into those Texas hills
Had herself a dark-eyed girl
Swore all the tears she cried was a pain she’ll never know

[Chorus]
Can you smell that smoke?
Driftin' in the desert wind to San Anton’
A wild-eyed señorita becomes a desperate mamacita
You had to go leave a heart on fire in Mexico

[Post-Chorus]
Mm, mm
In Mexico
Mm, mm, mm
