Let’s throw this dive into overdrive were the words out of my mouth
I swallowed them so clearly in a border town to the south
Miles and miles of duct tape couldn’t patch up my day
I remember when that Mexican stumbler took my dreams away

I’ll see you in the hoosegow when all the drinks have spilled
I’ll see you in the hoosegow when my prescriptions filled

Plenty of time to find trouble and if I don’t trouble finds me
I would turn 25 before I realized it was in my family tree
A $20 dollar fee and I could be free but I just couldn’t pay that man
A bottle of tequila, a pawn shop ticket and free admission to the can

I’ll see you in the hoosegow when all the drinks have spilled
I’ll see you in the hoosegow when my prescriptions filled

I didn’t see it but there must have been a lesson to be learned
Everytime I saw that Mexican stumbler you know his back was turned
If you want to learn about your mother then read the writing on the wall
If you ain’t got nothing nice to say well the hoosegow says it all

I’ll see you in the hoosegow when all the drinks have spilled
I’ll see you in the hoosegow when my prescriptions filled
