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

Chorus:

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

Chorus
