Tijuana Moon

The padre told me all the hymns were born
Out of the saxophone
And I went down to test them all
Beneath the Tijuana moon

I saw violence in the room
Two broken lovers strong and strewn,
I drank myself into a dream
About the Tijuana moon,

Tijuana moon,
My daddy
Tijuana moon,
Oh my darlin'
Tijuana moon
Lord my daddy
Tijuana moon

You can keep the Texas blues
Tequila and the burning stone
But my amigo
Nothin's good
Against the Tijuana moon

Talk about daddy
Tijuana moon
Talk about lovin'
Tijuana moon
Talk about daddy
Tijuana moon
